orthpol-light 1.0.1

Light python wrapper for the ORTHPOL package

This is the orthpol package. It is a frontend to the Fortran package orthpol written by W Gautschi [1].

Requirements

The package depends on a C++ porting of the Fortran library orthpol. Thus both C++ and Fortran compilers must be installed on the machine. The code is tested using the GCC compiler suite or clang for the compilation and linking of C++ code, and the gfortran compiler for the Fortran part of the code.

Installation

Make sure to have an up-to-date version of pip:

$ pip install –upgrade pip

Automatically install the software using the command:

$ pip install orthpol

If this doesn’t work, the package can be manually downloaded and installed through the following procedure:

$ cd <download_dir>

$ pip download orthpol

$ tar xzf orthpol-X.X.X.tar.gz

$ cd orthpol-X.X.X

$ python setup.py install
