Hello, We are very happy to announce the third major public release (v0.4) of the astropy package, a core Python package for Astronomy: http://www.astropy.org Astropy is a community-driven package intended to contain much of the core functionality and common tools needed for performing astronomy and astrophysics with Python. New and improved major functionality in this release includes: * A new astropy.vo.samp sub-package adapted from the previously standalone SAMPy package * A re-designed astropy.coordinates sub-package for celestial coordinates * A new ‘fitsheader’ command-line tool that can be used to quickly inspect FITS headers * A new HTML table reader/writer * Improved performance for Quantity objects * A re-designed configuration framework In addition, hundreds of smaller improvements and fixes have been made. An overview of the changes is provided at: http://docs.astropy.org/en/latest/whatsnew/0.4.html Instructions for installing Astropy are provided at the http://www.astropy.org website, and extensive documentation can be found at: http://docs.astropy.org In particular, if you use Anaconda, you can update to v0.4 with: conda update astropy Please report any issues, or request new features via our GitHub repository: https://github.com/astropy/astropy/issues Over 80 developers have contributed code to Astropy so far, and you can find out more about the team behind Astropy here: http://www.astropy.org/team.html If you use Astropy directly - or as a dependency to another package - for your work, please remember to include the following acknowledgment at the end of papers: "This research made use of Astropy, a community-developed core Python package for Astronomy (Astropy Collaboration, 2013)." where “(Astropy Collaboration, 2013)” is the Astropy paper which was published last year: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2013A%26A...558A..33A Please feel free to forward this announcement to anyone you think might be interested in this release. We hope that you enjoy using Astropy as much as we enjoyed developing it! Thomas Robitaille, Erik Tollerud, and Perry Greenfield on behalf of The Astropy Collaboration
From the User Documentation page I've noticed that the pdf version of
Hello, the docs just produces this 1-page output: https://media.readthedocs.org/pdf/astropy/stable/astropy.pdf The other docs (html and epub) seem to be fine. Cheers, Angelo Erik Tollerud wrote:
