Astropy is a community-developed Python package dedicated to the processing and analysis of astronomical data. It is also a key player in the scientific open-source community, promoting the use of Python for astronomical research. The project aims to foster an ecosystem of interoperable astronomy packages and actively supports community-driven efforts. As outlined on its website, Astropy not only provides a core package for astronomy-specific computations and data analysis, but also works in coordination with several affiliated packages dedicated to a diverse range of astronomy and astrophysics applications.
