[AstroPy] photometry in pyraf

[Joe Philip Ninan]

Hi Sato,
I apologize for this long delay in replying to your help. (got stuck in
some technical issues)
Thanks a lot for your suggestion. My scripts are working by the setPar
tasks you suggested.
Loading defaults and then changing the required parameters was a good
suggestion to make script more robust.
Thanking you,
Joe
