[AstroPy] Add an astropy.table.Table to a multi-extension FITS file?

[J. Xavier Prochaska]

I don’t recall where I pulled this syntax, but it works fine:

    prihdr = fits.Header()
    prihdu = fits.PrimaryHDU(header=prihdr)

    #data is an astropy Table
    table_hdu = fits.BinTableHDU.from_columns(np.array(data.filled()))

    thdulist = fits.HDUList([prihdu, table_hdu])
    thdulist.writeto(outfil,clobber=True)
