Project description

Description

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 three astronomical IDL libraries targeted:

idlutils
Goddard utilities (which are distributed with idlutils)
idlspec2d

The current goal is to get this package affiliated with the astropy project.
