=====
About
=====

This package provides an object bz, that defines a lattice in momentum (k) space
by means of the minimal wedge of the Brillouin Zone. The minimal wedge includes all
**k = (kx, ky)** *: kx in [0,pi], ky <= kx*. It is initialized by

.. code-block:: python

>>> import brillouin_zone
>>> brillouin_zone.bz( (int)kpts )

where kpts is the number of k points in one direction (e.g. kx).

* Python 3 support
* Linus, Mac OS X and Windows support
* Documentation
* Ongoing development

============
Installation
============
-----------
Requirement
-----------

#. **Phython3**

**Mac OS X**: Assuming you are using `Homebrew <http://brew.sh>`_ as package manager

.. code-block:: bash

# Install Python3
$ brew install python3

# Get access to the scientific Python formulas
$ brew tap Homebrew/python

# Install Numpy and Matplotlib
$ brew install numpy --with-python3
$ brew install matplotlib --with-python3

**Linux**:

.. code-block:: bash

# Download and unpack source
$ wget --no-check-certificate http://python.org/ftp/python/3.5.2/Python-3.5.2.tgz
$ tar zxvf Python-3.5.2.tgz

# Installation
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make test
$ sudo make install
# Or else refere to the Python-3.5.2/README

#. **Boost-Python**

**Mac OS X**:

.. code-block:: bash

# Insatll Boost
$ brew install boost

# Install Boost-Python for Python3
$ brew install boost-python --with-python3 --without-python


#. **Pip3**: This is probably already installed, but if not please check
the `official site <https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing/>`_.

.. code-block:: bash

# Check if installed
$ pip3

**Linux**:

.. code-block:: bash

$ wget --no-check-certificate https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
$ python3 get-pip.py

#. Set **g++** as compiler

.. code-block:: bash

# Install g++
$ brew install gcc

# **ATTENTION**: This may be the only step everyone needs to do!
$ export CC=g++

I am sorry for the inconvenience here. setup.py checks the enviroment
variable CC for the compiler and the default clang won't do.

Caveat: Numpy for python3

**Mac OS X**:

.. code-block:: bash

# Install Numpy and Matplotlib
$ brew install numpy --with-python3
$ brew install matplotlib --with-python3

**Linux**:

.. code-block:: bash

# Install Numpy
$ pip3 install numpy
---------------
Get the package
---------------

A universal installation method (that works on **Windows**, **Mac OS X**, **Linux**, ...) is
to use **pip3**:

.. code-block:: bash

# Update setuptools used by python
$ pip3 install -U setuptools

# Download and install the package
$ pip3 install brillouin-zone


-------------------
Development version
-------------------

This README and version currently undergoes heavy changes.

---------
Extension
---------

padefit - A package providing the objects selfenergy and greensfunctions as well
as all functions needed to perfom an analytic continuation from the
Matsubara axis to the real axis by means of a Pade Approximation.
