It allows direct access to the columns of a FITS binary table which can be useful for reading large fits files. Compared to astropy.io.fits, this package is closer to the underlying cfitsio library. Fitsio also exposes a microlanguage (implemented in CFITSIO) for making efficient SQL-like queries of tables (single tables only though–no joins or anything like that). </longdescription> <upstream> <remote-id type="github">esheldon/fitsio</remote-id> <remote-id type="pypi">fitsio</remote-id> </upstream> </pkgmetadata>
