SpectraPy

SpectraPy is an Astropy affiliated package, which collects algorithms and methods for data reduction of astronomical spectra obtained by a through slits spectrograph.

The library is designed to be spectrograph independent. It comes it comes with the configuration files for MODS and LUCI spectrographs but it can be easily configuredto reduce data of other instruments.

Current implementation of SpectraPy is focused on the extraction of 2D spectra: it produces wavelength calibrated spectra, rectified for instrument distortion. The library can be used on both longslit (LS) and multi object spectrograph (MOS) data.
