So how much longer before PyFITS is ready for numpy?

Might this also be a good time to separate the convenience functions (i.e.
getheader, getdata, etc.) of PyFITS into a new module?

I am very interested in obtaining both the AstroPy and astrolib  
Python modules, but I am unable to find the packages at the  
www.scipy.org repository.  Is there any other way I can obtain these  
packages?

Thank you,
Aaron

I'll be bringing those wiki pages over today with any luck. The actual 
subversion repository is at http://astropy.scipy.org/svn/astrolib by 
the way.

Not long I hope. It's working for images, and the tables capability is 
coming on line. I'm hoping most of the work from this point on is 
fairly straightforward. I hate to try to give a specific time, but 
weeks rather than months now (I hope).

For some time we'll have to support both numarray and numpy. We were 
hoping that some sort of matplotlib/numerix approach could be used, but 
indications are that it will more likely just be two different source 
modules (where which one loads depends on your preference, it will 
still be called pyfits).

Possibly. There's been a little discussion about this. This is a good 
time to raise the  issue so if people have suggestions, we're 
listening.

Subject: [AstroPy] astrolib pages migrated to new scipy wiki
Message-ID: <069fb0b27873400891b799221792854e@stsci.edu>

I believe I have migrated all the astrolib pages from the old wiki to 
the new one. In all the reformatting, I certainly must have made some 
mistakes (or otherwise formatted things contrary to authors' wishes or 
intent). So if you are the primary author of one of these pages, please 
take a look at them and edit them if necessary. Comments have been 
included in the body in a somewhat inelegant way. If someone would like 
to improve that, please do. Let me know if I've missed any pages.



I haven't migrated the astropy page yet (I'm going to see if Russell 
wishes to do that himself)
