run_prepare_photometry.py command line utility

This program will prepare the photometry on individual stars by doing all the operations which requires the full-size FFI images, like the following:

• Estimating sky background for all images.

• Estimating spacecraft jitter.

• Creating average image.

• Restructuring data into HDF5 files for efficient I/O operations.

The program can simply be run like the following, which will create a number of HDF5 files in the TESSPHOT_INPUT directory.

>>> python run_prepare_photometry.py

You can also get a full list of the options by calling the program with:

>>> python run_prepare_photometry.py --help

The program internally calls the function photometry.prepare.prepare_photometry() with the given parameters.
