DO NOT USE THIS PACKAGE IN YOUR PROJECT
This is a frozen fork of pyregion
. This repository's codebase is permanently
stuck in 2013. This repository will never be updated and therefore is not
useful except where required by old projects under https://github.com/spacetelescope
that rely on any patches made here long ago.
We have rebranded this software as stregion
for the sole purpose of
avoiding conflicts with the existing pyregion
package on PyPI.
If you stumbled upon this package by mistake, go ahead and check out one of the following projects instead:
