+        <p>Pyrap is the python interface to the Radio-Astronomical Package
+        casacore (<a href="http://casacore.googlecode.com/"
+        >casacore.googlecode.com</a>). Astronomers love pyrap because
+        it makes it easily possible to get their data (observed with
+        radio-astronomical telescopes like LOFAR, ASKAP, and eVLA) in numpy
+        arrays and do basic data inspection and manipulation using the many
+        python packages that are available.</p>
+
+        <p>Boost.Python made it quite easily possible to create converters for
+        the various data types, also for numpy arrays and individual elements
+        of a numpy array. It's nice they work fully recursively. Mapping C++
+        functions to Python was straightforward.</p>
