The original code in IRAF includes interval ends as it chooses not to add the star to the list of detected objects if ellipticity < roundlo or elipticity > roundhi (same for sharpness). That is, if a star has, i.e., ellipticity == roundlo, it would be selected.
Currently star finding code filters out sources that have sharpness or roundness match one of the limits for these parameter, see
photutils/photutils/detection/irafstarfinder.py
Lines 580 to 583 in c15b004
I believe the strict inequalities in the code above should be replaced with
>=
and<=
.Here is an example of a source that should be detected:
That is, perfectly round stars are excluded by default.
