The Astropy Project supports and fosters the development of open-source and openly developed Python packages that provide commonly needed functionality to the astronomical community. A key element of the Astropy Project is the core package astropy, which serves as the foundation for more specialized projects and packages. In this article, we provide an overview of the organization of the Astropy project and summarize key features in the core package, as of the recent major release, version 2.0. We then describe the project infrastructure designed to facilitate and support development for a broader ecosystem of interoperable packages. We conclude with a future outlook of planned new features and directions for the broader Astropy Project. ; Google; NumFOCUS; Python Software Foundation; Space Telescope Science Institute; Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics; South African Astronomical Observatory; National Aeronautics and Space Administration through the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory [SV3-73016]; National Aeronautics Space Administration [NAS8-03060]; UW eScience Institute via Moore Foundation; Sloan Foundation; Washington Research Foundation; NASA's Planetary Astronomy Program; NASA [NAS8-03060, NAS 5-26555]; NASA through Hubble Fellowship - Space Telescope Science Institute [51316.01]; Giacconi Fellowship; FONDECYT [1170618]; MINEDUC-UA [ANT 1655, ANT 1656]; German Research Foundation (DFG) [SFB 881]; German Research Foundation (DFG); NSF [AST-1313484]; Spanish government [AYA2016-75808-R]; Gemini Observatory; Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute, under the RD program ; The Astropy community is supported by and makes use of a number of organizations and services outside the traditional academic community.

A search for dark matter linelike signals iss performed in the vicinity of the Galactic Center by the H.E.S.S. experiment on observational data taken in 2014. An unbinned likelihood analysis iss developed to improve the sensitivity to linelike signals. The upgraded analysis along with newer data extend the energy coverage of the previous measurement down to 100 GeV. The 18 h of data collected with the H.E.S.S. array allow one to rule out at 95% C.L. the presence of a 130 GeV line (at l=-1.5°, b=0° and for a dark matter profile centered at this location) previously reported in Fermi-LAT data. This new analysis overlaps significantly in energy with previous Fermi-LAT and H.E.S.S. RESULTS: No significant excess associated with dark matter annihilations was found in the energy range of 100 GeV to 2 TeV and upper limits on the gamma-ray flux and the velocity weighted annihilation cross section are derived adopting an Einasto dark matter halo profile. Expected limits for present and future large statistics H.E.S.S. observations are also given. ; The support of the Namibian authorities and of the University of Namibia in facilitating the construction and operation of H.E.S.S. is gratefully acknowledged, as is the support by the German Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF), the Max Planck Society, the German Research Foundation (DFG), the French Ministry for Research, the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique-Institut National de Physique Nucléaire et de Physique des Particules and the Astroparticle Interdisciplinary Programme of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, the United Kingdom Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), the Institute of Particle and Nuclear Physics of the Charles University, the Czech Science Foundation, the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education, the South African Department of Science and Technology and National Research Foundation, and the University of Namibia. We appreciate the excellent work of the technical support staff in Berlin, Durham, Hamburg, Heidelberg, Palaiseau, Paris, Saclay, and Namibia in the construction and operation of the equipment. R. C.
