If you're designing a high-energy physics analysis (e.g. with data recorded with an [LHC](https://home.cern/topics/large-hadron-collider) experiment at [CERN](http://home.cern)), manual bookkeeping of external data can get complicated quite fast. *order* provides a Python class collection that helps you structuring

- analyses,
- MC campaigns,
- datasets,
- cross sections,
- channels,
- categories,
- systematics, and
- models for statistical inference.


### Getting started

See the [intro.ipynb](https://github.com/riga/order/blob/master/examples/intro.ipynb) notebook for an introduction to the most important classes and an example setup of a small analysis.

You can find the full [API documentation on readthedocs.](http://python-order.readthedocs.io).


### Installation and dependencies

Via [pip](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/order):

```bash
pip install order
```

Currently, the only dependencies of the core classes are [scinum](https://github.com/riga/scinum) and [six](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/six), which are also installed with the above command.


### Contributing

If you like to contribute, I'm happy to receive pull requests. Just make sure to add a new test cases and run them via:

```bash
> python -m unittest tests
```


##### Testing

In general, tests should be run for different environments:

- Python 2.7
- Python 3.5
- Python 3.6


##### Docker

To run tests in a docker container, do:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/riga/order.git
cd order

docker run --rm -v `pwd`:/root/order -w /root/order python:3.6 /bin/bash -c "\
pip install -r requirements.txt; python -m unittest tests"
```
