About

The beu package is intended to be an easy way to explore several complementary Python packages.

• There is a script to help you get all the system requirements installed

• The beu module auto-imports several relevant modules as their preferred 2-character shortcuts for quick interaction

• The beu-ipython command is a shortcut to start an ipython session with the beu module imported before you see the shell prompt

• The commands provided by the other packages are all installed to the same place

• All the advanced features of the packages are made available (since some packages will do more when certain other packages can be imported)
