About
=====

A package that 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
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 and support

============
Installation
