PyAstronomy

What is it?

PyAstronomy is a collection of astronomy-related packages written in Python.

Currently, the following subpackages are available:

funcFit: A convenient fitting package providing support

for minimization and MCMC sampling.

modelSuite: A Set of astrophysical models (e.g., transit

light-curve modeling), which can be used stand-alone or with funcFit.

AstroLib: A set of useful routines including a number

of ports from IDL’s astrolib.

Constants: The package provides a number of often-needed

constants.

Timing: Provides algorithms for timing analysis such as

the Lomb-Scargle and the Generalized Lomb-Scargle periodogram

pyaGUI: A collection of GUI tools for interactive work.

Installation

Use “python setup.py [–with-ext] install”

If you specify the –with-ext flag, setup will try to compile non-Python modules. This is not mandatory.
