Name: fitsio
Version: 0.9.11
Summary: A full featured python library to read from and write to FITS files.
Home-page: https://github.com/esheldon/fitsio

Description: A python library to read from and write to FITS files.
Do not use numpy 1.10.0 or 1.10.1
----------------------------------
There is a serious performance regression in numpy 1.10 that results
in fitsio running tens to hundreds of times slower. A fix may be
forthcoming in a later release. Please comment here if this
has already impacted your work https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/6467
Description
-----------
This is a python extension written in c and python. Data are read into
numerical python arrays.
A version of cfitsio is bundled with this package, there is no need to install
your own, nor will this conflict with a version you have installed.
Some Features
-------------
- Read from and write to image, binary, and ascii table extensions.
- Read arbitrary subsets of table columns and rows without loading all the data
to memory.
- Read image subsets without reading the whole image. Write subsets to existing images.
- Write and read variable length table columns.
- Read images and tables using slice notation similar to numpy arrays. This is like a more
powerful memmap, since it is column-aware for tables.
- Append rows to an existing table.
- Query the columns and rows in a table.
- Read and write header keywords.
- Read and write images in tile-compressed format (RICE,GZIP,PLIO,HCOMPRESS).
- Read/write gzip files directly. Read unix compress (.Z,.zip) and bzip2 (.bz2) files.
- TDIM information is used to return array columns in the correct shape.
- Write and read string table columns, including array columns of arbitrary
shape.
- Read and write complex, bool (logical), unsigned integer, signed bytes types.
- Write checksums into the header and verify them.
- Insert new columns into tables in-place.
- Iterate over rows in a table. Data are buffered for efficiency.
- python 3 support
Examples
--------
```python
import fitsio
from fitsio import FITS,FITSHDR
# Often you just want to quickly read or write data without bothering to
# create a FITS object. In that case, you can use the read and write
# convienience functions.
# read all data from the first hdu with data
filename='data.fits'
data = fitsio.read(filename)
# read a subset of rows and columns from a table
data = fitsio.read(filename, rows=[35,1001], columns=['x','y'], ext=2)
# read the header, or both at once
h = fitsio.read_header(filename, extension)
data,h = fitsio.read(filename, ext=ext, header=True)
# open the file, write a new binary table extension, and then write the
# data from "recarray" into the table. By default a new extension is
# added to the file. use clobber=True to overwrite an existing file
# instead. To append rows to an existing table, see below.
fitsio.write(filename, recarray)
# write an image
fitsio.write(filename, image)
# NOTE when reading row subsets, the data must still be read from disk.
# This is most efficient if the data are read in the order they appear in
# the file. For this reason, the rows are always returned in row-sorted
# order.
#
# the FITS class gives the you the ability to explore the data, and gives
# more control
#
# open a FITS file for reading and explore
fits=fitsio.FITS('data.fits')
# see what is in here; the FITS object prints itself
print(fits)
file: data.fits
mode: READONLY
extnum hdutype hduname
0 IMAGE_HDU
1 BINARY_TBL mytable
# at the python prompt, you could just type "fits" and it will automatically
# print itself. Same for ipython.

... etc
# explore the extensions, either by extension number or
# extension name if available

# read all rows and columns from a binary table extension
data = fits[1].read()
data = fits['mytable'].read()

# read a subset of rows and columns. By default uses a case-insensitive
# match. The result retains the names with original case. If columns is a
# sequence, a recarray is returned
data = fits[1].read(rows=[1,5], columns=['index','x','y'])
# Similar but using slice notation
# row subsets
data = fits[1][10:20]
data = fits[1][10:20:2]
data = fits[1][[1,5,18]]
# all rows of column 'x'

# Read a few columns at once. This is more efficient than separate read for
# each column

# General column and row subsets. As noted above, the data are returned
# in row sorted order for efficiency reasons.
columns=['index','x','y']
rows=[1,5]

# iterate over rows in a table hdu
# faster if we buffer some rows, let's buffer 1000 at a time

for hdu in fits:

# Note dvarr shows type varray[10] and svar shows type vstring[8]. These
# are variable length columns and the number specified is the maximum size.
# By default they are read into fixed-length fields in the output array.
# You can over-ride this by constructing the FITS object with the vstorage
# keyword or specifying vstorage when reading. Sending vstorage='object'
# will store the data in variable size object fields to save memory; the
# default is vstorage='fixed'. Object fields can also be written out to a
# new FITS file as variable length to save disk space.
fits = fitsio.FITS(filename,vstorage='object')

```
Installation
------------
The easiest way is using pip. To get the latest release
pip install fitsio
# update fitsio (and everything else)
pip install fitsio --upgrade
# if pip refuses to update to a newer version
pip install fitsio --upgrade --ignore-installed
# if you only want to upgrade fitsio
pip install fitsio --no-deps --upgrade --ignore-installed
You can also get the latest source tarball release from
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/fitsio
or the bleeding edge source from github or use git. To check out
the code for the first time
git clone https://github.com/esheldon/fitsio.git
Or at a later time to update to the latest
cd fitsio
git update
Use tar xvfz to untar the file, enter the fitsio directory and type
python setup.py install
optionally with a prefix
python setup.py install --prefix=/some/path
Requirements
------------
- python 2 or python 3
- you need a c compiler and build tools like Make
- You need numerical python (numpy).
test
----
The unit tests should all pass for full support.
import fitsio
fitsio.test.test()
Some tests may fail if certain libraries are not available, such
as bzip2. This failure only implies that bzipped files cannot
be read, without affecting other functionality.
TODO
----
- bit columns
- HDU groups: does anyone use these? If so open an issue!
Notes on cfitsio bundling
-------------------------
We bundle partly because many deployed versions of cfitsio in the wild do not
have support for interesting features like tiled image compression. Bundling
a version that meets our needs is a safe alternative.
Note on array ordering
----------------------
Since numpy uses C order, FITS uses fortran order, we have to write the TDIM
and image dimensions in reverse order, but write the data as is. Then we need
to also reverse the dims as read from the header when creating the numpy dtype,
but read as is.
