The Radio Astro Tools Project is an effort to develop a community-driven and curated suite of radio astronomy specific tools in python. The radio astronomy focus is particularly on non-CCD astronomy, including techniques for handling data from interferometric and single-dish telescopes and heterodyne and bolometer instrumentation.
