[AstroPy] units in ascii read/write?

[Rolf Buehler]

Hi Tim,
thank you very much for the quick response. I also did not find a 
document which defines the SExtractor format, I just started using it as 
an other python module (AstroAsciiData) uses it. I understood the 
convention as you said:

#    NR    name    comments also with spaces    [units in brackets]
value1    value2    etc..


(note the TABs above between columns)

I also looked through the SExtractor manual and found no defninition, so 
maybe the above will work?
It is also what the metnioned AstroAsciiData uses:

Thanks and cheers,
Rolf
