sxs 2019.9.9.16.5.49

A collection of python code used by the SXS collaboration

This package provides a number of utilities for use by the SXS collaboration, and others who use our data. For example, the metadata subpackage provides functions for reading and analyzing the metadata files provided with SXS simulations for describing the physics they represent. Another important subpackage is zenodo, which provides handy functions for interacting with zenodo.org in general, and in particular our collection of simulation data on that site.

A handy command-line interface is also installed when you install this package. It enables direct calling to any function in this package. For example, if you want to upload a directory to Zenodo, you could use the sxs.zenodo.upload function through python, or you could just run the command sxs zenodo upload. Any arguments to these functions should be passed immediately following the function name, followed by any keyword arguments in the usual –keyword=value format. Run sxs –help for more information.
