i have no idea what the current status is, but there used to be a python implementation of the iraf astronomy image processing system (iraf) called pyraf. if was developed by stsci, if i remember correctly. you might find that useful. it will certainly support manipulating fits files etc, but may be a bit "heavweight" for your needs. andrew -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
