araucaria 0.1.11

Python library to manipulate XAFS spectra

# araucaria

[](https://github.com/marcoalsina/araucaria/blob/master/LICENSE) 

araucaria is a Python library to read, process and analyze X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectra. The library is designed to be modular, transparent, and light-weight, allowing the development of routines that are reproducible, exchangeable, and readily extensible.

The library is under active develeopment, but in its current state allows to perform both basic and advanced tasks on XAFS spectra such as linear combination fitting (LCF). Additional functionality will be added on a regular basis.
