Python-cpl is an `Astropy Affiliated Package <http://www.astropy.org/affiliated/>`_ 
that can list, configure and execute recipes from `ESO data reduction
pipelines <http://www.eso.org/sci/software/pipelines/>`_ from Python
(python2 and python3).  The input, calibration and output data can be
specified as FITS files or as ``astropy.io.fits`` objects in memory.

The ESO `Common Pipeline Library <http://www.eso.org/sci/software/cpl/>`_
(CPL) comprises a set of ISO-C libraries that provide a comprehensive,
efficient and robust software toolkit. It forms a basis for the creation of
automated astronomical data-reduction tasks. One of the features provided by
the CPL is the ability to create data-reduction algorithms that run as plugins
(dynamic libraries). These are called "recipes" and are one of the main
aspects of the CPL data-reduction development environment.

Python-CPL releases are `registered on PyPI
<http://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-cpl>`_, and development is occurring at
the `project's github page <http://github.com/olebole/python-cpl>`_.

For installation instructions, see the 
`online documentation <http://python-cpl.readthedocs.org/en/latest/install.html>`_.
