Lightcone I/O for SWIFT

This is a python module for reading lightcone output from SWIFT simulations.

The source code and issue tracker are hosted on github: https://github.com/jchelly/LightconeIO

Releases are hosted on pypi: https://pypi.org/project/lightcone-io/

For documentation see: https://lightconeio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Installation

For read-only use without MPI support, the module can be installed using pip:

pip install lightcone_io

Building the documentation

The documentation is built using sphinx:

pip install sphinx sphinx-rtd-theme sphinx-autodoc-typehints
cd docs
make html

Running unit tests

There are some unit tests which can be run with just

pytest

in the source directory. This will test the classes for reading local HDF5 files containing HEALPix map, particle and halo lightcone data. These tests use downsampled lightcone outputs which are stored in the git repository in tests/data.

To also test access to remote files:

pytest --hdfstream-server=<server_url>
