  Description     : Dithered image combination for Python

 The drizzle library is a Python package for combining dithered images
 into a single image. This library is derived from code used in
 drizzlepac. Like drizzlepac, most of the code is implemented in the C
 language. The biggest change from drizzlepac is that this code passes
 an array that maps the input to output image into the C code, while
 the drizzlepac code computes the mapping by using a Python
 callback. Switching to using an array allowed the code to be greatly
 simplified.

The package is an upcoming astropy affiliated package and will be
maintained by the Debian Astro Team. A git repository is created at

https://anonscm.debian.org/git/debian-astro/packages/drizzle.git
