Installation

PISCOLA can be installed in the usual ways, via pip:

pip install piscola

or from source:

git clone https://github.com/temuller/piscola.git

cd piscola

pip install -r requirements.txt

python setup.py install

Using PISCOLA

PISCOLA can fit the supernova light curves and correct them in a few lines of code:

sn = piscola.call_sn(<sn_name>)

sn.normalize_data()
sn.fit_lcs()
sn.mangle_sed()
sn.calculate_lc_params()

or for a "quick" fit with the default parameters:

sn = piscola.call_sn(<sn_name>)
sn.do_magic()

You can find an example of input file in the data directory.
