The Astropy Project is a community effort to develop a common core package for Astronomy in Python and foster an ecosystem of interoperable astronomy packages. Astropy is a Python library for use in astronomy. Learn Astropy provides a portal to all of the Astropy educational material through a single dynamically searchable web page. It allows you to filter tutorials by keywords, search for filters, and make search queries in tutorials and documentation simultaneously. The Anaconda Python Distribution includes Astropy and is the recommended way to install both Python and the Astropy package. The astropy package contains key functionality and common tools needed for performing astronomy and astrophysics with Python. It is at the core of the Astropy Project, which aims to enable the community to develop a robust ecosystem of affiliated packages covering a broad range of needs for astronomical research, data processing, and data analysis.
