Abstract:	PyFITS is a module for reading, writing, and manipulating FITS files using the interactive, object-oriented language, Python. The module is composed of two files: a generic low-level C library for manipulating multidimensional arrays of C-type structures and a high-level Python module. FITS files can be manipulated at several different levels, beginning with the header-data unit at the highest level to rows and columns of binary tables at the lowest level. In addition, header-data units and columns of binary tables are accessible by index or name. PyFITS also interfaces to NumPy, the Python numerical array module.
