<p>The <em class="xref py py-obj">stpyfits</em> module serves as a layer on top of PyFITS to support the use of single-valued arrays in extensions using the NPIX/PIXVALUE convention developed at STScI. The standard PyFITS module implements the strict FITS conventions, and these single-valued arrays are not part of the FITS standard.</p>
