python-casacore
===============
Python-casacore is a set of Python bindings for `casacore <https://code.google.com/p/casacore/>`_,
a c++ library used in radio astronomy. Python-casacore replaces the old
`pyrap <https://code.google.com/p/pyrap/>`_.
The python-casacore documentation can be found on `casacore.github.io/python-casacore <http://casacore.github.io/python-casacore>`_.

Installation
============
Ubuntu 18.04
------------
The easiest way to start using python-casacore is to enable the `KERN suite <http://kernsuite.info>`_ repository and install the binary package ::
$ sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kernsuite/kern-4
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install python-casacore
from source
-----------
install these requirements:
* `setuptools <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools>`_
* `Casacore <https://github.com/casacore/casacore/>`_
* `Boost-python <http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/>`_
* `numpy <http://www.numpy.org/>`_
* `cfitsio <http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/fitsio/>`_
On ubuntu you can install these with:
* enable the `KERN suite <http://kernsuite.info>`_
* install build dependencies::
$ apt-get install casacore-dev python-numpy \
python-setuptools libboost-python-dev libcfitsio3-dev wcslib-dev
* compile and install::
$ python ./setup.py install
* if you need to supply compile parameters, for example if you have your casacore
library installed in a different location have a look at the `build_ext` help::
$ python ./setup.py build_ext -h
For example, if `casacore` is installed in `/opt/local/`, you can specify the
library path and include path with::
$ python ./setup.py build_ext -I/opt/local/include -L/opt/local/lib
$ python ./setup.py install
Using pip
---------
python-casacore is also available trough pip. Note that you need to manually satisfy
the requirements mentioned above::
$ pip install python-casacore
