A python library for astronomy/astrophysics calculations and data analysis.

Note that Astropysics is now in "maintainence mode" only. That is, further development is not expected, as my efforts have shifted to the Astropy project. It is a much larger effort that contains most of the functionality in Astropysics and much more. Astropysics will remain so that code written against it will continue to function, though, and I will continue to accept bug fixes as necessary.
If you have numpy (http://numpy.scipy.org/) and scipy (http://www.scipy.org/) installed, just do:
python setup.py install
On some linux distributions, this may need to be:
sudo python setup.py install
Note also, if you are using pip to install, the latest version might not work do to some issues with SSL. In that case you may have luck using the latest dev version:
pip install git+https://github.com/eteq/astropysics.git
Documentation (in the "docs" directory) is meant to be used with sphinx (http://sphinx.pocoo.org). Typical usage is:
python setup.py build_sphinx
to build html documentation and place it in docs/_build/html. Note that this requires Sphinx >=1.0
