Allow for indata *.fits files to be compressed with gzip #13

Closed henryroe closed 10 months ago

henryroe commented 8 years ago

FITS files typically compress nicely & to save disk space I would like to be able to store my raw IGRINS data in gzip'd form. (I usually do a gzip --best *.fits in my raw data directories.)

When reading in a fits file, ideally igrins-plp should seamlessly read either a gzip'd or non-gzip'd file.

I've a simple fix to enable this behavior that I will submit as a pull request. Basically, I've written a simple wrapper to the fits routines and then replace a bunch of import statements throughout the rest of the code to import my wrapper rather than astropy.io.fits. I think it's self explanatory.

The latest version of the PLP (qlook and flexure branches currently) can read in .gz and .bz2 compressed fits files in indata. I am going to consider this issue solved. Contact me if you have any questions.
