cpymad 0.19.0

Cython binding to MAD-X

cpymad is a Cython binding to MAD-X (MAD-X source).

This version of cpymad should be built against MAD-X 5.03.07.

cpymad is NOT maintained by CERN members and links against an unofficial build of MAD-X that is not supported by CERN, i.e. this binary may have problems that the official binary does not have and vice versa. See also: Reporting issues.

License

White the cpymad source code itself is under free license, the MAD-X software package is NOT FREE. For more details, see COPYING.rst.

Reporting issues

If you have a problem with a sequence file, first try to check if that problem remains when using the MAD-X command line client distributed by CERN, then:

• Report the issue to CERN only if it can be reproduced with their official command line client.

• Report the issue here only if it can not be reproduced with their official command line client.

For issues regarding the cpymad code itself or usage information, I’m happy to answer. Just keep in mind to be precise, specific, concise and provide all the necessary information.
