ligotimegps 2.1.0

A pure Python version of lal.LIGOTimeGPS

LIGOTimeGPS

This module provides a pure-python version of the LIGOTimeGPS class, used to represent GPS times (number of seconds elapsed since GPS epoch) with nanoseconds precision.

Description

This module is primarily for use as a drop-in replacement for the 'official' lal.LIGOTimeGPS class (provided by the SWIG-python bindings of LAL) for use on those environments where LAL is not available, or building LAL is unnecessary for the application (e.g. testing).

The code provided here is much slower than the C-implementation provided by LAL, so if you really care about performance, don't use this module.

How to install

python -m pip install ligotimegps

How to use

>>> from ligotimegps import LIGOTimeGPS
>>> t = LIGOTimeGPS(12345, 67890)
>>> print(t)
12345.00006789
