      Description

      We currently use pyfits in multiple packages: afw, coadd_chisquared, obs_base, meas_astrom, meas_deblender, meas_extensions_psfex, meas_mosaic, obs_cfht, obs_lsstSim, obs_sdss, obs_subaru and obs_test.

      Strangely, we only have explicit dependencies on pyfits listed for afw, obs_base, galsim, healpy and obs_subaru.

      galsim can use astropy.io.fits or pyfits. healpy really does seem to not work with astropy.io.fits – is there a newer version that does?

      Please replace pyfits with astropy.io.fits where appropriate and update the table files to correctly express the dependency (and removing pyfits where inappropriate).

            The current status is:

            • healpy does not use pyfits
            • galsim has pyfits in the table file but does not need it.

            The following use pyfits:

            • meas_deblender
            • obs_base
            • obs_subaru
            • afwdata
            • obs_sdss
            • obs_test
            • obs_cfht
            • meas_extensions_psfex
            • meas_extensions_astrometryNet
            • coadd_chisquared
            • obs_lsstSim
            • meas_mosaic

            Only daf_butlerUtils, obs_base, and obs_subaru declare this dependency.
