Ccdproc is is an affiliated package for the AstroPy package for basic data reductions of CCD images. The ccdproc package provides many of the necessary tools for processing of ccd images built on a framework to provide error propagation and bad pixel tracking throughout the reduction process.

Ccdproc can currently be installed via pip or from the source code. For installation instructions, see the online documentation or docs/install.rst in this source distribution.

Documentation is at ccdproc.readthedocs.io

We have had the first stable release, but there is still plenty to do!
