What’s New in Photutils 1.13?

Here we highlight some of the new functionality of the 1.13 release. In addition to these changes, Photutils 1.13 includes a large number of smaller improvements and bug fixes, which are described in the full Changelog.

Testing the installed version of Photutils

To test your installed version of Photutils, you can run the test suite using the pytest command. Running the test suite requires installing the pytest-astropy (0.11 or later) package.

To run the test suite, use the following command:

pytest --pyargs photutils

This method replaces the old method of running the test suite using the photutils.test() Python function, which has been removed.
