dfitspy, is a project that migrates the main dfits and fitsort capabilities to python. It is a metadata searcher/displayer for FITS files. As dfits and fitsort, dfitspy is able to display in the terminal the result of a metadata search and is able to grep certain values of keywords inside large samples of files. Therefore it can be used directly with the command line interface. Nevertheless, dfitspy can be, and it is its strength, imported as a python module the user can use these functionnalities inside another python code or the python interpretor.
