Description: This package contains functions useful for general scientific
        programming, with a focus on astronomical research. The documentation
        details everything that is available, but some example tasks that can
        be handled are:
        
          * Calculate absorption profiles for various ions observed in
            astrophysical environments.
          * Fit a smooth continuum to a spectrum with many emission or
            absorption features.
          * Find the expected broad-band magnitudes given a spectral energy
            distribution.
        
        More details are given in the documentation here:

        To install, either download the tarball from the pypi website and then
        do:
        
          python setup.py install
        
        You may need to put a 'sudo' in front of this. 
        
        A better way to install (which allows for easy uninstallation) is by
        using pip:
        
          pip install barak
        
        but you need to have pip
        (http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/index.html) installed.
         
        To run the tests you need py.test
        (http://pytest.org/latest/getting-started.html) installed.  Then run
        
           py.test barak 
        
        from this directory.
