Description

-----------

This package consists of Python_ replacements for functions that are part of

the `IDL®`_ built-in library or part of astronomical `IDL®`_ libraries.

The emphasis is on reproducing results of the astronomical library functions.

Only the bare minimum of `IDL®`_ built-in functions are implemented to support this.

There are four astronomical libraries targeted:

* idlutils_ : a general suite of tools heavily used by SDSS_.

* `Goddard utilities`_ : The `IDL®`_ Astronomy User's Libary, maintained by Wayne Landsman and distributed with idlutils_.

* idlspec2d_ : tools for working with SDSS_, BOSS_ and eBOSS_ spectroscopic data.

* photoop_ : tools for working with SDSS_ imaging data.

This package affiliated with the astropy_ project and is registered with PyPI_.
