  Description        : toolkit for fitting and manipulating
spectroscopic data in Python

This is a code framework designed to allow for analysis of spectroscopic
data from a wide variety of astronomical instruments.
It is motivated by the lack of general spectroscopic analysis tools
applicable at multiple wavelengths (compare to IRAF, SPLAT, etc. - these
are wavelength-specific and/or do not make user scripting easy).
Initial implementation focuses on optical and radio applications, e.g.
gaussian and voigt profile fitting, baseline/continuum fitting, and
equivalent width measurements.

This package will be maintained under the Debian Astro Team.
