pyXMIP (the python X-Matching and Identification Package) is an astronomical software package for cross referencing source catalogs against known databases. The package provides a variety of statistical tools for quantifying the confidence of a given match and automates queries against many of the most common astronomical databases.

• Cross match catalogs of sources from survey missions against a wide array of known source databases.
• Use statistical methodologies to model the distribution of sources and produce match probabilities.

The documentation for pyXMIP is hosted here. It includes various example notebooks, a complete API documentation and further information. It also includes guides on custom code implementations to meet your science goals.
