serpentTools 0.6.0

A suite of parsers designed to make interacting with SERPENT output files simple, scriptable, and flawless

A suite of parsers designed to make interacting with SERPENT [1] output files simple and flawless.

The SERPENT Monte Carlo code is developed by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, Ltd. More information, including distribution and licensing of SERPENT can be found at http://montecarlo.vtt.fi

Installation

The serpentTools package can be downloaded either as a git repository or as a zipped file. Both can be obtained through the Clone or download option at the serpent-tools GitHub.

For more detailed instructions, including operating-system specific instructions, see Installation Guide.

Once the repository has been downloaded or extracted from zip, the package can be installed with:

cd serpentTools
python setup.py install
python setup.py test

Installing with setuptools is preferred over the standard distutils module. setuptools can be installed with pip as:

pip install -U setuptools

Installing in this manner ensures that the supporting packages, like numpy are installed and up to date.

Issues

If you have issues installing the project, find a bug, or want to add a feature, the GitHub issue page is the best place to do that.
