[AstroPy] how to judge a point is in some rectangle or not?

[David Berry]

pyast (https://github.com/timj/starlink-pyast) has a wide range of
region handling functions, including rectangles, polygons, circles,
ellipses, etc. See for instance

http://dsberry.github.com/starlink/node1.html#Polygon

This is the python interface - see the C docs at

http://www.starlink.ac.uk/docs/sun211.htx/node355.html#xref_astPolygon

for more info.
