Features
This code computes ignition conditions for Type I X-ray bursts using a multi-zone model of the accreting layer (including hot CNO hydrogen burning, but not helium burning), but a one-zone ignition criterion. For more details, see Cumming & Bildsten (2000).

pip install pySettle
from pySettle import settler
(See the code of test script test_settle_sft.py as an example.)
