evefile 0.2.0

Features

A list of features:

• Importer for eve HDF5 files (used at PTB in Berlin, Germany)

• Fully backwards-compatible to older eveH5 versions

• Complete information available that is contained in an eveH5 file

• Data are (only) loaded on demand, not when loading the file

• Powerful and intuitive abstractions, allowing for associative access to data and information – beyond a purely tabular view of the data

And to make it even more convenient for users and future-proof:

• Open source project written in Python (>= 3.9)

• Developed fully test-driven

• Extensive user and API documentation

Installation

To install the evefile package on your computer (sensibly within a Python virtual environment), open a terminal (activate your virtual environment), and type in the following:

pip install evefile

Related projects

There is a number of related packages users of the evedata package may well be interested in, as they have a similar scope, focussing on working with synchrotron radiometry data.

• evedata

  A Python package for importing (synchrotron) radiometry data obtained at one of the beamlines at BESSY-II or MLS in Berlin, mostly operated by the German National Metrology Institute, the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB). In contrast to evefile, this package will provide powerful and intuitive abstractions, allowing for associative access to data and information. Hence, evefile is only a transitional package for use until evedata is considered sufficiently stable for routine use.

• radiometry

  A Python package for processing and analysing (synchrotron) radiometry data in a reproducible and mostly automated fashion. Currently, it focusses on data obtained at one of the beamlines at BESSY-II or MLS in Berlin, mostly operated by the German National Metrology Institute, the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB).

• evedataviewer

  A Python package for graphically inspecting data contained in EVE files, i.e. data obtained at one of the beamlines at BESSY-II or MLS in Berlin, mostly operated by the German National Metrology Institute, the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB).
