Description: ========
        Polycomp
        ========
        
        This package provides a set of Python bindings to the libpolycomp
        library, as well as a stand-alone program which can be used to
        compress/decompress FITS files into polycomp files (still FITS files
        in disguise).
        
        Requirements
        ------------
        
        1. Either Python 2.7 or 3.4 will work
        
        2. Libpolycomp (https://github.com/ziotom78/libpolycomp) must already
           be installed
        
        3. The following Python libraries are required:
           - `click` (http://click.pocoo.org/5/);
           - `numpy` (http://www.numpy.org/);
           - Either `astropy` (version 0.4 or greater, http://www.astropy.org/) or
             `pyfits` (http://www.stsci.edu/institute/software_hardware/pyfits). (The
             `setup.py` script installs Astropy.)
        
        **Note**: Recent versions of NumPy (1.10) seem to be incompatible with PyFits
        3.3: saving files will lead to strange assertion errors. NumPy 1.8.2 and PyFits
        3.3 are fine.
        
        Basic usage
        -----------
        
        To use the bindings in your code, simply import ``pypolycomp`` in your
        project::
        
          import pypolycomp
        
        This package provides also a standalone program, ``polycomp``. Use the
        ``--help`` flag to get some help about how to use it::
        
          $ polycomp --help
