pyuvdata is an open-source software package that seeks to provide a well-documented,
feature-rich interface for many of the different data formats that exist within radio
interferometry, including support for reading and writing UVH5 [@uvh5], UVFITS
[@uvfits], MIRIAD [@miriad], and measurement set [@ms] visibility files; and reading of
FHD [@fhd] and MIR [@mir] visibility save files. Additionally, pyuvdata supports reading
and writing measurement set calibration tables, and reading of FHD calibration tables.
and writing measurement set, CalFITS [@calfits], and CalH5 (Hazelton et al., _in prep_)

interfaces for and handling of models of antenna primary beams, including reading and
writing of BeamFITS [@beamfits] and MWA-formatted beam models, as well as for flags
tables.

pyuvdata has been designed to facilitate interoperability between different instruments
and codes by providing high quality, well documented conversion routines as well as an interface to interact with interferometric data and simulations directly in Python. Originally motivated to support new low frequency instruments (e.g. MWA (http://www.mwatelescope.org/), PAPER (http://eor.berkeley.edu/), HERA (http://reionization.org/)),
