mariopy 1.0.3

A python package for automating input-output (IO) calculations, models,visualization and scenario and supply-chain analysis

MARIO

MARIO stands for Multifunctional Analysis of Regions through Input-Output. It is a Python package for working with Input-Output Tables (IOT) and Supply and Use Tables (SUT). Once parsed, a table becomes a MARIO database that can be inspected, computed, transformed, aggregated, shocked, and exported.

Documentation is available on Read the Docs.

What MARIO Supports

MARIO is designed around a practical IO workflow:

• parse a database from supported sources or load a packaged test table;

• inspect sets, scenarios, and available matrices;

• compute derived matrices and indicators on demand;

• transform, aggregate, or shock the database;

• export the results for roundtrip or downstream analysis.

The current documentation covers both standard parsers and custom database ingestion. Supported workflows include:

• single-region and multi-region systems;

• monetary and hybrid tables where the parser supports them;

• standard sources such as EXIOBASE, EORA, EUROSTAT, FIGARO, WIOD, OECD, and more;

• custom databases from Excel, text, CSV, and pandas-based inputs;

• aggregation, SUT-to-IOT conversion, scenario analysis, and exports.

Installation

The package name on PyPI is mariopy, while the import name is mario.

Preferably, create a clean Python environment first:

conda create -n mario python=3.11
conda activate mario

Install from PyPI:

pip install mariopy

Parquet import and export support is included in the default installation.

Install from source:

git clone https://github.com/it-is-me-mario/MARIO.git
cd MARIO
pip install -e .

Quickstart

A minimal test database is bundled with MARIO:

import mario

db = mario.load_test("IOT")

print(db)
print(db.get_index("Region"))

db.calc_all()
db.to_excel(path="output_folder")

For SUT workflows:

import mario

sut = mario.load_test("SUT")
iot = sut.to_iot(method="B")

Documentation Map

The published documentation is organized into a few main sections:

• Setup for installation and first checks;

• Concepts for MARIO terminology and conventions;

• User guide for parsers, inspection, transformations, custom databases, and exports;

• API reference for method-level documentation;

• Publications for the software paper and related research.

Citation

Citation guidance and the up-to-date list of publications using MARIO are maintained in the Research section of the documentation.
