Astropy项目支持和促进开源和开放开发的Python包的开发，为天文社区提供常用的功能。Astropy项目的一个关键元素是核心软件包astropy，它是更专业的项目和软件包的基础。在本文中，我们总结了核心包中的关键特性，截至最近的主要版本，版本5.0，并提供了项目的主要更新。然后，我们讨论支持更广泛的可互操作包生态系统，包括与几个天文观测站和任务的连接。我们还重新审视了Astropy项目的未来前景和学习Astropy的现状。最后，我们提出并讨论了该项目目前和未来面临的挑战。
The Astropy Project supports and fosters the development of open-source and openly developed Python packages that provide commonly needed functionality to the astronomical community. A key element of the Astropy Project is the core package astropy, which serves as the foundation for more specialized projects and packages. In this article, we summarize key features in the core package as of the recent major release, version 5.0, and provide major updates on the Project. We then discuss supporting a broader ecosystem of interoperable packages, including connections with several astronomical observatories and missions. We also revisit the future outlook of the Astropy Project and the current status of Learn Astropy. We conclude by raising and discussing the current and future challenges facing the Project.
