PyHipp - Modern Python toolkit for HPC

PyHipp is a computational toolkit, designed mainly for astronomical researches. We pre-release this package, as our other projects depend extensively on it. The package is still under active update, subjecting to structural changes and functional extensions. The docs are still incomplete, and testings do not cover the full source tree, which we will continue to complete.

To install pyhipp and automatically handle the dependencies, use:

$ pip install pyhipp

Dependencies

pyhipp depends on an GSL (GNU Scientific Library) installation. If you do not have it installed, you can install it via conda:

$ conda install gsl

Alternatively, in Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, you can install it via the package manager:

$ sudo apt-get install libgsl-dev

Usage

See the Jupyter notebooks under docs/.

• io.ipynb: I/O facilities for data I/O, e.g., with HDF5.
• astro.ipynb: Astronomy-related functionalities, e.g. cosmological computations.
