[AstroPy] Astropy in Fedora

[Michael Droettboom]

Thanks for doing this. This is fantastic.

I'm getting one absolutely non-critical test failure with the package, 
however.

|_______________ test_skip_hidden __________________

     def test_skip_hidden():
         path = data._find_pkg_data_path('data')
         for root, dirs, files in os.walk(path):
>           assert '.hidden_file.txt' in files
E           assert u'.hidden_file.txt' in [u'local.dat.bz2', u'invalid.dat.gz', u'unicode.txt', u'local.dat', u'invalid.dat.bz2', u'local.dat.gz']

/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/astropy/utils/tests/test_misc.py:118: AssertionError
==== 1 failed, 4802 passed, 89 skipped, 11 xfailed in 178.17 seconds ====|

The purpose of this test is to ensure that the regular Python |os.walk| 
includes hidden files, but that our own 
|astropy.utils.misc.walk_skip_hidden| does not. To test this, a hidden 
file is included in the test data folder, but it looks like that file is 
not being installed in the package:

|~ > ls -a /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/astropy/utils/tests/data/
.  ..  invalid.dat.bz2  invalid.dat.gz  local.dat  local.dat.bz2  local.dat.gz  test_package  unicode.txt|

If hidden files can't be included in the package for policy reasons, 
it's probably reasonable to either disable this test in the package, or 
create the file programmatically in a temporary directory and then run 
these tests there. I can probably help code up the latter if that would 
be helpful.

Let me know if this is sufficient or I should file a bugzilla entry etc.
