migjorn 0.2.3

A fast, lossless MCNP input parser with whole-geometry editing.

migjorn (Python)

Fast, lossless MCNP input parsing with whole-geometry editing, backed by a Rust core.

Run the examples with uv (no manual build)

uv builds the Rust extension for you. From the repository root:

# Script tour — one command, builds + runs:
uv run crates/migjorn-py/examples/migjorn_demo.py

# Notebook (interactive) — the [notebook] extra pulls in jupyterlab/ipykernel/nbconvert:
uv run --with "./crates/migjorn-py[notebook]" \
  jupyter lab crates/migjorn-py/examples/migjorn_demo.ipynb

# Notebook (execute headless, refresh outputs in place):
uv run --with "./crates/migjorn-py[notebook]" \
  jupyter nbconvert --to notebook --execute --inplace \
  crates/migjorn-py/examples/migjorn_demo.ipynb

The script carries its dependency (the local migjorn package) as inline PEP 723 metadata, so uv run compiles the extension via maturin into an isolated environment automatically.

Use in an IDE (VS Code / Jupyter kernel)

To run the notebook against a persistent, selectable interpreter (rather than uv's ephemeral uv run environments), create a .venv that contains both migjorn and ipykernel. From this directory (crates/migjorn-py):

uv sync --no-editable --extra notebook

This builds the extension and installs the notebook stack (jupyterlab, ipykernel, nbconvert) into crates/migjorn-py/.venv. Then, in your IDE, select the kernel / interpreter:

crates/migjorn-py/.venv/Scripts/python.exe      # Windows
crates/migjorn-py/.venv/bin/python              # macOS / Linux

A kernel without ipykernel (e.g. a bare uv venv, or uv sync without --extra notebook) will fail to start for the notebook — that missing package is the usual cause. After changing the Rust code, re-run uv sync --no-editable --extra notebook (or maturin develop) to rebuild.

Why --no-editable? An editable install points a .pth at the external python/ source dir; Pylance often won't follow that to find the stubs, so you get no autocomplete/typing. A non-editable install places migjorn/__init__.pyi and py.typed physically in site-packages, which every type checker resolves. (Trade-off: after editing the code you must re-sync to pick up changes.)

Install (development, without uv)

pip install maturin
cd crates/migjorn-py
maturin develop --release

To build a wheel: maturin build --release (produces an abi3 wheel that works on CPython 3.9+).

To build a Windows wheel on Linux, use maturin build --release --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc -m crates/migjorn-py/Cargo.toml -i python3.12.

Quick start

import migjorn

model = migjorn.parse(open("model.mcnp").read())
# or: model = migjorn.Model.from_file("model.mcnp")

print(model)                      # Model(cells=..., surfaces=..., ...)
print(model.num_cells, model.num_surfaces)

# Look up by number (fast; uses an id index).
s = model.surface(113)
print(s.id, s.kind, s.coeffs)    # 113 'PX' [-10.0]

c = model.cell(800)
print(c.material, c.density, c.signed_surfaces)

# --- In-place value edits (write straight through, lossless elsewhere) ------
c.material = 124                  # replace the material
c.density  = -7.93               # replace the density

# Assigning a material to a *void* cell just works: it gains a placeholder
# density of 0.0 (never raises, so it's safe in a loop). Set the real density
# next; assigning material 0 makes the cell void again and drops the density.
void = model.cell(2)
void.material = 5                    # 5 0 ...   (placeholder density 0.0)
void.density  = -2.0                # 5 -2.0 ...
void.material = 0                    # 0 ...     (void again, density dropped)

# Diagnostics (empty on a clean parse).
for d in model.diagnostics:
    print(d.severity, d.message)

# --- Whole-geometry renumbering -------------------------------------------
# Definitions AND every reference are updated consistently.

model.offset_surfaces(1_000_000)          # fast: shift all surface numbers
model.renumber_cells(lambda n: n + 500)   # callable: once per distinct cell id
model.renumber_surfaces({1: 100, 2: 200}) # or an explicit dict

# Lossless re-emission: only edited numbers change; comments/spacing preserved.
model.save("model_renumbered.mcnp")
text = str(model)                         # or model.to_source()

Type checking / IDE support

The package is typed (PEP 561): the compiled extension is the private migjorn._migjorn submodule, wrapped by the migjorn package which ships type stubs (python/migjorn/__init__.pyi) and a py.typed marker. Pylance, pyright, and mypy pick these up automatically once the wheel is installed — no more "unknown import"/"untyped" warnings. When you change the bindings in src/lib.rs, update python/migjorn/__init__.pyi to match.

Notes

• model.cells / model.surfaces / model.materials / model.transforms / model.data_cards return full lists. For very large models prefer the id lookups (model.cell(id), model.surface(id)) and the num_* counts.
• Everything is documented inline: help(migjorn.Model), help(migjorn.Surface).
