One of the pages, <http://www.scipy.org/wikis/topical_software/Tutorial>,
has a lot of tutorial material. It almost looks like overload on the
subject. I'm hoping the use of this library will be relative simple for my
purposes, which are basically to write an image to a fits file with a
somewhat simple header, which might include lat/long, date, image size,
date-time, and a comment.
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.

Along these lines, there was an astronomy python site at the U of Washington
not many months ago. The link is broken. Any idea where it went? I sent the
astro dept a msg about it a few hours ago. NASA has one too, but it's not
loading today. The govt. sites seem to have troubles on the weekend.
