pyirf 0.12.0

A python library to calculate IACT IRFs and Sensitivities

pyirf is a python library for the generation of Instrument Response Functions (IRFs) and sensitivities for the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) .

Thanks to its simple input/output and modular function-based structure, it can be used to process also data from other Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs).
