Modules

These are more general-purpose modules, intended to be imported into other python scripts.

GLOEspy

A python implementation of Barry Madore's GLOEs algorithm. Use it to get a smooth interpolation of heterogeneously sampled 1- or 2-D data.

fit_poly

Python module for fitting a 1- or 2-D polynomial (McLauren series) to a set of data.

myiraf.py

A library of custom-made iraf-related routines. This will, of course, require you install pyaf. You also need ReadSex.py and stats.py

stats.py

Collection of statistics routines. These are mostly covered by scipy, but if you don't want to install scipy...

ReadSex

Routine for reading in sextractor output.

spline2

A python wrapper for spline2 (aka hyper-spline) by B. Thijsse et al. Uses the Durbin-Watson statistic rather than chi-square as a test for the number of knots in the approximating spline, which is supposed to be less sensitive to incorrect variances in the data. Requires Numeric python.

Pygplot: (yet another) pgplot python wrapper

This is an object-oriented wrapper around Dan Kelson's PGPLOT wrappers. It attempts to make things more pythonic, yet keep all the flexibility PGPLOT gives you. This requires Dan's python distribution. Simply unpack the contents of the tar file into the Basics directory.
