km3net-testdata 0.2.1

KM3NeT TestData

A package to get access to KM3NeT sample files for testing and development purposes.

Installation and usage

pip install km3net-testdata

The file paths can be access in Python scripts using the data_path() function:

from km3net_testdata import data_path()

filename = data_path("km3net_offline.root")

Notice the underscore in the Python package name (PyPI forces - but Python package names are not allowed to use -).

To use the module in e.g. shell scripts, the module can be called directly and print the filepath:

$ python -m km3net_testdata km3net_offline.root
/full/path/to/km3net_offline.root
