  Description     : Fast interstellar dust extinction laws

Extinction provides a library with Cython-optimised implementations of
empirical dust extinction laws found in the astronomical literature.

This library is a dependency of the sncosmo software. Hence packaging
Extinction is a prerequisite of packaging sncosmo.

It will be maintained within the Debian Astronomy Working Group. A git
repository will be created on alioth [1].

Best regards,

Florian
