Astropy is a collection of software packages written in the Python programming language and designed for use in astronomy.[2] The software is a single, free, core package for astronomical utilities due to the increasingly widespread usage of Python by astronomers, and to foster interoperability between various extant Python astronomy packages.[3] Astropy is included in several large Python distributions; it is part of package managers for Linux and macOS,[4][5][6] the Anaconda Python Distribution, Enthought Canopy and Ureka.[7]
