Balík: python-pydl-doc (1.0.0~rc2-1)

Library of IDL astronomy routines converted to Python (doc)

PyDL 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 Library, 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 is the common documentation package.
