I am not familiar with this, but it looks quite useful: http://www.stecf.org/software/PYTHONtools/astroasciidata/ or (http://www.scipy.org/AstroAsciiData)
"Within the AstroAsciiData project we envision a module which can be used to work on all kinds of ASCII tables. The module provides a convenient tool such that the user easily can: * read in ASCII tables; * manipulate table elements; * save the modified ASCII table; * read and write meta data such as column names and units; * combine several tables; * delete/add rows and columns; * manage metadata in the table headers." Is anyone familiar with this package? Would make sense to investigate including this or adopting some of its interface/features? -- Jarrod Millman Computational Infrastructure for Research Labs 10 Giannini Hall, UC Berkeley phone: 510.643.4014 http://cirl.berkeley.edu/ _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
