pyfxtran

This package is a lightweight wrapper around fxtran.

The goal is to produce a python package that can be distributed via PyPI. A better way would be to write a real python binding around fxtran.

Installation:

Standard installation from PyPI: pip install pyfxtran

Note that pyfxtran is distributed on PyPI in a binary form for X86_64 architectures and as a source distribution that is compiled during the installation. This build process has been succesfully tested on X86_64 and aarch64 architectures.

Usage:

import fxtran
result = fxtran.run(filename, kwargs)

Documentation:

The wrapper does not add any functionality over fxtran. Full documentation can be found with the fxtran tool.

Installtion from git:

git clone https://github.com/SebastienRietteMTO/pyfxtran.git
cd pyfxtran
pip install -e .

On first use, pyfxtran will download fxtran and compile it. The executable is then stored in the user's directory, its name begins with .fxtran and is followed by the fxtran version number.

Instead of downloading fxtran, if the FXTRAN_FOR_PYFXTRAN environment variable is set, on the first use the git clone command will be replaced by a symlink to the directory pointed by this variable and a cleaning will be done.
