| Abstract: |
As astronomical data processing expands from our historical platforms
into modern Python applications, users are faced with installing and
maintaining large numbers of heterogeneous dependencies. A handful of
scientific Python distributions make installing key packages easy, but
don't cater for specific needs such as integration with IRAF. We have
therefore recently released a beta version of a new astronomical
software distribution for Linux and OSX, known as Ureka. Ureka is based
around STScI Python and dependencies, notably Python, NumPy, IRAF,
SciPy, AstroPy, Matplotlib and Tk. It also contains data reduction
packages for Gemini, HST, JWST and other observatories, alongside
various complementary tools. |
