pyatomdb 0.0.2.0

AtomDB python library. This is a very early development version.

PYATOMDB

This is pre-alpha release code. Many functions have just been ripped from my hard disk and not yet fully vetted. Possibly the most complete section is the “spectrum” module. Sample code is in the docs subfolder.

Full documentation can be found at http://atomdb.readthedocs.org

Installation

Standard python installation: python setup.py install
