Astropysics

===========

A python library for astronomy/astrophysics calculations and data analysis.

Web Page: http://packages.python.org/Astropysics/

License: Apache License v2.0

Note that Astropysics is now in "maintainence mode" only.  That is,

further development is not expected, as my efforts have shifted to the

`Astropy project `_.  It is a much larger effort

that contains most of the functionality in Astropysics and much more.

Astropysics will remain so that code written against it will continue to

function, though, and I will continue to accept bug fixes as necessary.

Installation

------------

If you have numpy (http://numpy.scipy.org/) and scipy (http://www.scipy.org/) installed, just do::

  python setup.py install

On some linux distributions, this may need to be::

  sudo python setup.py install

  

Note also, if you are using `pip` to install, the latest version might not work do to some issues with SSL. In that case you may have luck using the latest dev version::

  pip install git+https://github.com/eteq/astropysics.git

  

Documentation

-------------

Documentation (in the "docs" directory) is meant to be used with sphinx (http://sphinx.pocoo.org).  Typical usage is::

  python setup.py build_sphinx

to build html documentation and place it in docs/_build/html.  Note that this requires Sphinx >=1.0
