Description: nway
        ======================================
        
        nway is a source cross-matching tool for arbitrarily many astronomical catalogues. 
        
        Features
        ----------
        
        * Bayesian match probabilities based on astronomical sky coordinates (RA, DEC)
        * Works with arbitrarily many catalogues
        * Can handle varying errors
        * Can incorporate additional prior information, such as the magnitude or color distributions of the sources to match
        * Works accurately and fast in small areas and all-sky catalogues
        
        Documentation
        ---------------
        
        See the manual in the doc/ folder, https://github.com/JohannesBuchner/nway/raw/master/doc/nway-manual.pdf
        
        A full worked example with demo catalogues is included.
        
        Installation
        ---------------
        
        The easiest way to install nway is with pip: 
        
        	$ pip install nway
        
        Add --user if you do not have admin privileges. Alternatively, 
        download the source code and run "python setup.py install".
        
        nway uses the following python packages:
        
        * numpy, scipy, matplotlib
        * astropy
        * progressbar or progressbar-latest
        * argparse
        * joblib
        * healpy
        
        nway should work both with Python 3 and Python 2.
