PypeIt is a Python package for semi-automated reduction of astronomical, spectroscopic data.Its algorithms build on decades-long development of previous data reduction pipelines by the developers (Bernstein et al., 2015;Bochanski et al., 2009).The reduction procedure -including a complete list of the input parameters and available functionality -is provided as online documentation hosted by Read the Docs, which is regularly updated.It is a set of commands designed to perform the reduction without any additional coding.In what follows, we provide a brief description of the algorithms, but refer the interested reader to the online documentation for the most up-to-date information.Release v1.3 serves the following spectrographs:Gemini/GNIRS, Gemini/GMOS, Gemini/FLAMINGOS 2, Lick/Kast, Magellan/MagE, Magellan/Fire, MDM/OSMOS, Keck/DEIMOS (600ZD, 830G, 1200G), Keck/KCWI (BM, BH2), Keck/LRIS, Keck/MOSFIRE (Y, J, K gratings tested), Keck/NIRES, Keck/NIRSPEC (low-dispersion; old detector), LBT/Luci-I, LBT/Luci-II, LBT/MODS, MDM/OSMOS, MMT/MMIRS, MMT/binospec, NOT/ALFOSC, P200/DBSP, P200/TripleSpec, VLT/X-Shooter (VIS, NIR), VLT/FORS2 (300I, 300V)
