I know and love PyFits, but I need to be able to do draw shapes on a FITs image (and perhaps some other operations), and I don't believe that PyFits allows these kinds of operations. It might be possible to import the data into a numarray object and turn that into something PIL can read, though. Jeremy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
