#### Description

Python-casacore is a set of Python bindings for [casacore] (https://github.com/casacore/casacore), a c++ library used in radio astronomy. This python binding to casacore is now python 3 compatible, contains some unit tests, etc. But some work remains to be done:

 - Remove all compile warnings
 - Modernise code, add missing features, maybe more ‘pythonic’.
 - Improve test coverage (24% at the moment)

This is a typical project to learn making good code.
