Supporting python modules for "Constriction of actin rings by passive crosslinkers"

Python package that implements the analytical model from Ref. 1.

It also includes a module for creating plots with this model, as well as plots from finite element calculations output from a related package (elastic-rings) and plots from Monte Carlo simulations from another related package (ActinRingsMC.jl).

Some example scripts for creating plots are provided in the scripts directory.
