[AstroPy] boolean header keyword

[Nadezhda Dencheva]

Hi Abhi,

Use python boolean values, i.e. pass value=True to setval.

Subject: [AstroPy] boolean header keyword

Hello,

This is most likely a question for Eric, but I thought I'd see if someone knew the answer. I'm using the setval command in astropy.io.fits to update a header keyword in an HST image (SUBARRAY). The keyword originally contains either a T or F if the image is a subarray or not.

How do I use setval to change the keyword from T to F or vice versa. Right now its updating the header with a string and essentially crashing the code checking to make sure that the image is not a subarray.

Thanks
Abhi
