I am happy to announce the availability of IDLSave, which is a pure
python module to import variables from IDL 'save' files (e.g. .sav)
into python. This does _not_ require IDL to work. It has a very simple
command-line interface, and converts all IDL variables to python
types, including Numpy arrays whenever possible. More information and
a download link are available at http://idlsave.sourceforge.net/

Please let me know if you encounter any problems, or have any suggestions,

Best regards,

Thomas Robitaille
