I get consistent failures in `test_http_connection_range` when I run the tests locally, on both Python 2 and 3. Obviously since this failure doesn't seem to be occurring on the CI...
Per this StackOverflow question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29826828/how-do-i-write-a-3d-astropy-table-to-a-file I think this _shouldn't_ just work, since there's no straightforward way to write this kind of data to an arbitrary ASCII format. But if nothing...
We should improve the caching mechanism for `download_file` so that it can still check the server (where possible) for updates to the remote file. This might also mean changing the...
An unfortunate legacy brought over from GotoBlas is use of Windows APIs on Cygwin, and general treatment of Cygwin as just some variant of Windows. At one time that might...
It would be wonderful if the welcome message could be more personalized e.g. in particular with the user's username. This could be done by allowing the messages to be template...
Includes limited support for `Collection.options()` to retrieve validation options on collections, and `Database.command({'collMod': ...})` to support setting validation options on collections. Now can do, for example: ```python >>> db.create_collection('coll_name', validator={'a':...
I was reading the ccdproc docs for the first time in the context of [APE 6](https://github.com/astrofrog/astropy-APEs/pull/1) and hit upon the [section on writing](http://ccdproc.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ccdproc/ccddata.html#getting-data-out) particularly to a FITS file. The `to_hdu()`...
Sphinx provides a mechanism, which is not normally supported in Python, to provide docstrings for class attributes and module-level variables. We use this in several places in Astropy to document...
On some doc pages for classes (and possibly modules)--for example [`Polynomial2D`](http://docs.astropy.org/en/v1.0.3/api/astropy.modeling.polynomial.Polynomial2D.html)--under the "Attribute Documentation" literal values that involve unicode strings display them with the Python 2 style `u'...'` unicode literal...
Related to #156, but different--since automatic docstring inheritance isn't a normal "thing" in Python, Sphinx falls over a bit when this happens. Normally when we write a docstring we don't...
