PySBIG can read SBIG CCD files and give you a Numeric array for the data and a dictionary for the headers. There is cPySBIG (since version 0.02) which is 40 times faster than the pure PySBIG module, also included. Version 0.03 now works with numpy instead of Numeric.

import PySBIG
 
sbig = PySBIG.PySBIG("mysbigfile.st9")
 
data = sbig.getData()  #two dimentional array
headers = sbig.getHeaders() #dictionary

OR

import cPySBIG
 
sbig = cPySBIG.cPySBIG("mysbigfile.st9")
 
data = sbig.getData()  #two dimentional array
headers = sbig.getHeaders() #dictionary

Version 0.04 files:

• PySBIG-0.04.tar.bz2
• Signature
• Gentoo ebuild
• Older versions

• Write/save SBIG files.
• Have less same code in both cPySBIG and PySBIG (share from pure).
• Optimize the pure python version.
