abacusutils
abacusutils is a package for reading and manipulating data products from the Abacus N-body project. In particular, these utilities are intended for use with the AbacusSummit suite of simulations. The package focuses on the Python 3 API, but there is also a language-agnostic Unix pipe interface to some of the functionality.
These interfaces are documented here: https://abacusutils.readthedocs.io

Installation

Usage
abacusutils has multiple interfaces, summarized here and at https://abacusutils.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage.html.
Specific examples of how to use abacusutils to work with AbacusSummit data will soon be given at the AbacusSummit website: https://abacussummit.readthedocs.io
Python
The abacusutils PyPI package contains a Python package called abacusnbody.
This is the name to import (not abacusutils, which is just the name of the PyPI package).
For example, to import the compaso_halo_catalog module, use
import abacusnbody.data.compaso_halo_catalog
Unix Pipes
The pipe_asdf Python script reads columns from ASDF files and pipes them to
stdout. For example:
$ pipe_asdf halo_info_000.asdf -f N -f x_com | ./client
