Cliff Kotnick has ported the original perl/IRAF calibration pipeline into Python.  This has been done to add some new logic tests and improved quality checking, as well as to remove the requirement for IRAF.  We've checked the new processing pretty carefully against the original version, but just wanted to warn you that the underlying software has changed.  This new pipeline is being rolled out gradually.

BSM_NH2 started using the Python pipeline on the night of 210317/210318UT.

BSM_Berry started using the Python pipeline on the night of 210313UT.  These are ALL of the new E180 nights.

Please report anything that seems suspicious for any subsequent night, in comparison to what you were getting before.  Thanks!
