atmolidarpy 0.1.0

Standalone atmospheric lidar data processing package

atmolidarpy

atmolidarpy is a standalone distribution for atmospheric lidar data processing, migrated from the former gfatpy.lidar submodule. The importable Python package remains lidarpy.

Current public documentation:

• Documentation site
• Module reference index

Install the package from PyPI with:

python -m pip install atmolidarpy

Development

Run the local test suite with:

$env:PYTHONPATH='src'; $env:MPLBACKEND='Agg'; .\.venv\Scripts\python -m pytest tests -q

For a faster development loop that skips RAW conversion and larger integration checks:

$env:PYTHONPATH='src'; $env:MPLBACKEND='Agg'; .\.venv\Scripts\python -m pytest tests -q -m "not slow"

GitHub Actions runs the same pytest suite on pushes and pull requests targeting main and develop.

Release

Current package version: 0.1.0.

Versioning policy while the project remains alpha:

• Bug fixes that keep the public API compatible use 0.1.x.
• Public API changes use 0.2.0, 0.3.0, etc.
• 1.0.0 is reserved for the first stable API intended for production dependants such as gfat-worker.

Tag releases as v*. The publish workflow builds the source distribution and wheel, checks them with Twine, and publishes through PyPI Trusted Publishing. Before the first real release, configure the PyPI project to trust the GitHub repository environment named pypi.
