FastBasic

class astropy.io.ascii.FastBasic(default_kwargs={}, **user_kwargs)

Bases: object

This class is intended to handle the same format addressed by the ordinary Basic writer, but it acts as a wrapper for underlying C code and is therefore much faster. Unlike the other ASCII readers and writers, this class is not very extensible and is restricted by optimization requirements.
