Summary: Reads FITS images and tables into numpy arrays and manipulates FITS headers

Description:
PyFITS provides an interface to FITS formatted files in the Python
scripting language and PyRAF, the Python-based interface to IRAF. It
is useful both for interactive data analysis and for writing analysis
scripts in Python using FITS files as either input or output. PyFITS
is a development project of the Science Software Branch at the Space
Telescope Science Institute.

This code is for backward compatibility only as new code should use
the FITS functions in astropy.io.fits
