  Description     : core functionality for performing astronomy and
astrophysics with Python.

The astropy package (alternatively known as the “core” package) contains
various classes, utilities, and a packaging framework intended to
provide commonly-used astronomy tools. It is expected to be extended by
a number of "affilated packages" that are intended to work with the core
package.

The current release is a developer preview.
