Description
We present a case-study in migrating a mask design software application for a Multi-Object Spectrograph (MOIRCS, operating at Subaru Telescope) from an IDL implementation to a pure Python one. The port accomplished several goals, including:
1) freeing users from onerous licensing restrictions,
2) improving the overall stability and responsiveness of the program, and
3) improving the prospects for future upgrades and maintenance.
We explain the purpose and use of the program, describe the practical procedures used in the port, and finally show and describe the user interfaces of both the old and the new versions.
