A general purpose library for galaxy morphology research implemented purely in python and containing several widely used methods in astronomical research.
This library is currently under heavy development and below you can find a list of modules that are planned to be part of this package.
This package includes a module to run GALFIT using SExtractor results as first guesses for batch fitting of a list of galaxies. It requires that both GALFIT and SExtractor are installed on your computer and in your PATH.
A list of implemented non-parametric statistics:
