Warning!
This is NOT the place to get STScI's full Python data analysis software package (MultiDrizzle, PyDrizzle, SAAclean, etc., including PyRAF). For that, go to the stsci_python download page instead.
This page is for those that want to download PYRAF ONLY.
PyRAF Only
The current version of PyRAF is v2.1.10 (Nov 2015).
PyRAF currently supports Python 2.6, 2.7, and 3.4, 3.5 !
PyRAF is also now available for Microsoft Windows! It will in general be very limited since IRAF is not available on that platform, but some subcomponents such as Astrodrizzle are available for Windows.
The current version of STSDAS is listed here.
Download
