Package philosophy

We want sospice to be:

• Convenient to install. It is installable by pip and it is published on PyPI

• Useful, providing a single package for all SPICE-specific steps of your data analysis.

• Easy to use, with simple interface functions to operations performed by lower-level functions.

• Well documented. We use sphinx to build documentation from the Python docstrings.

• Thoroughly tested. We use pytest and aim at a high test coverage ratio. Tests are run automatically with Github actions.

• Well integrated in the SunPy ecosystem. In the long term, we aim at getting the SunPy affiliated package status.

Contributions from the community are welcome, in particular as issues or pull requests.
