  <longdescription lang="en">
		Fitsio provides an easy to use object-oriented API including
		providing a Numpy interface to FITS files read from CFITSIO. It
		allows direct access to the columns of a FITS binary table which can
		be useful for reading large fits files. Compared to astropy.io.fits,
		this package is closer to the underlying cfitsio library.
		Fitsio also exposes a microlanguage (implemented in CFITSIO) for
		making efficient SQL-like queries of tables (single tables only
		though–no joins or anything like that).
