PyFITS v1.3 (22 February 2008) is the current stable release. All of the updates
in this release were to the numpy version only. Users who have been using PyFITS with
numarray and who are not ready to switch over to numpy can use the numarray version.
But none of the new features and bug fixes in v1.3 are available. Support for numarray at
STScI is winding down, so we recommend that users switch over to numpy as soon as it is
convenient. See the numpy
home page for more details.
Changes from the previous version of PyFITS are described in the release notes. PyFITS depends on the following support software:
Installing PyFITSPyFITS 1.3 is distributed as a Python distutils module. Installation simply involves unpacking the package and executing
% python setup.py install to install it in Python's site-packages directory. Alternatively the command
%python setup.py install --local="/destination/directory/" will install PyFITS in an arbitrary directory which should be placed on PYTHONPATH. Once numpy or numarray has been installed, then PyFITS should be available for use under Python.
PyFITS v1.3 requires the use of NUMPY or Numarray Numarray can be downloaded from the numarray development site. NUMPY can be downloaded from the Scipy development site
