About

labpython (imported as labpy) is a collection of modules created to simplify gathering and processing experimental data. It also features a collection of modules inside labpy.devices namespace for high-level communication with various devices using pyvisa and pydaqmx backends.

Installation

Package can be installed from PyPI using:

pip install labpython

Or directly from github:

pip install https://github.com/franciszekjuras/labpy/tarball/master

Use [full] argument to install extra packages for data processing:

pip install labpython[full]

If you want to modify the package source code it's convenient to install it in developer mode. In order to do this:

• create and activate a virtual environment,
• clone or download repo from github,
• navigate to its main directory (the one in which this README.md resides),
• execute: pip install -e .
• now you can use import labpy anywhere and any changes to the source code will be visible without reinstallation (if using jupyter kernel must be restarted)
