        ===============
        
        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 16.04
        ------------
        
        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-3
            $ sudo apt-get update
            $ sudo apt-get install python-casacore
        
        
        from source
        -----------
        
        install these requirements:
        
        * `setuptools <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools>`_
        * `Casacore <https://code.google.com/p/casacore/>`_ >= 2.3
        * `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
