Perhaps tomultispec (in the stsdas.hst_calib.ctools package) will do what
you need.  Tomultispec reads wavelengths and fluxes from one or more rows
of a table, fits a curve to the wavelength array, writes the fluxes to an
output image, and adds info about the fit to the output header.  The image
that is created is an imh/pix image in multispec format.

There are other tasks in the tables.ttools package that may be helpful in
working with tables.
