This is a python script (python/fits_files/ccdrev.py) that takes a file from ccdrev, reformats some of the strings and writes information to standard out for the user and to a local file named "args_for_skygrab" for use by the (important) skygrab script. A sample run is:

% ccdrev a.fits > tmp1 
% ccdrev.py tmp1
