NAME

       pyraf - Python interface for IRAF

SYNOPSIS

       pyraf [options] [savefile]

DESCRIPTION

       PyRAF  is  a command language for running IRAF tasks that is based on the Python scripting
       language. It gives users the ability to run IRAF tasks in an environment that has all  the
       power  and  flexibility  of  Python.  PyRAF  can  be installed along with an existing IRAF
       installation; users can then choose to run either PyRAF or the IRAF CL.
