APLpy (the Astronomical Plotting Library in Python - pronounced apple pie ) is a Python package module aimed at producing publication-quality plots of astronomical imaging data, and has been around since 2009.
Since APLpy 2.0, APLpy relies on Astropy’s WCSAxes package to draw the coordinate axes and grids, which in turn uses Matplotlib to do the rendering. This is a big change compared to previous versions of APLpy, which handled the drawing of the coordinate axes and grids directly. For information about backward-compatibility, see the Backward-compatibility notes .
Note that APLpy 2.x is only compatible with Python 3.5 and later.
