[AstroPy] Executable Script fitsheader

[Peter Teuben]

more than likely the argument is not fed via the glob module, as it 
seems to take *.fit as a literal, not a meta character. Looking at the 
documentation, it seems to support wildcards, but I should also note the 
documentation (in the source code) has 'errors', e.g. it lists

fitsheader --keyword NAXIS* filename.fits

as an example which I'm pretty sure doesn't work in all shells. In bash 
it will, since it's an overly controlling shell, or smart shell as some 
call it :-)  In csh, i can promise you, it won't work.

Since DOS does wildcards I believe, the other possibility could be that 
the command fitsheader doesn't point to the fitsheader.py from astropy, 
but from another package, since the name is pretty easy to come up with. 
Is there a "which" command in DOS ?

Does the command do the expected thing if you manually feed it more than 
one fit(s) file?
