Description: stsci_python Description
        ========================
        
        stsci_python is a library of Python routines and C extensions that
        has been developed to provide a general astronomical data analysis
        infrastructure. Primary development has been done to support Hubble
        Space Telescope (HST) data calibration and analysis needs based on
        general purpose libraries from the environment. Several of the
        packages, though, can also be used to support data processing of
        astronomical data. It includes the following:
        
        PyRAF       
            an environment for running IRAF tasks without using the IRAF CL
        
        PyFITS
            (released separately as well) used to read FITS images and
            tables into numpy or numarray objects and to manipulate FITS
            headers. See http://www.stsci.edu/institute/software_hardware/pyfits
            for full details.
        
        pysynphot
            a synthetic photometry package (still in development) designed
            to replace IRAF's STSDAS.SYNPHOT. It is suitable for library
            or interactive use.
        
        DrizzlePac
            a package for aligning and combining STScI images. Full
            documentation available at http://drizzlepac.stsci.edu .
        
        acstools
            tasks for post-calibration processing of HST ACS images
        
        calcos
            calibration software for HST Cosmic Origins Spectrograph's(COS) data
        
        costools
            tasks for post-calibration processing of HST COS data
        
        fitsblender
            general purpose package for merging FITS headers from multiple
            images into a single header
        
        nictools
            tasks for post-calibration processing of HST NICMOS images
        
        stistools
            tasks for post-calibration processing of HST STIS images
        
        wfc3tools
            tasks for post-calibration processing of HST WFC3 images
        
        wfpc2tools
            tasks for post-calibration processing of HST WFPC2 images
        
        stsci.tools
            provides TEAL interface for defining a GUI for running Python
            tasks based on configobj for managing parameters
        
        imagestats
            perform image statistics with sigma-clipping ierations
        
        numdisplay
            task to visualize numpy array objects using image display tools
            like ds9 and ximtool through IRAF's IIS protocol
