   Description     :Library of IDL astronomy routines converted to Python

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 is affiliated with the Astropy project.

It will maintained within the Debian Astronomy Working Group.

Best regards,

Vincent
