Gammapy is a Python package for high-level gamma-ray data analysis built on Numpy, Scipy and Astropy. It enables us to analyze create sky images, spectra lightcurves, from event lists instrument response information, determine the position, morphology of sources. So far has mostly been used H.E.S.S. Fermi-LAT, now being simulation observations Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). We have proposed as prototype CTA science tools. This contribution gives an overview project shows application example with simulated data.
