This is my attempt at parsing the data output from the MIT Photonics-Bands (MPB) package into a more friendly form. Internally, our group uses an aging but stable package called MPB Utilities written by Mark Patterson, an alumni gifted with an excellent coding ability. They say imitation is the most sincere form of flattery and given Matlab's licensing restrictions and the restructuing of IT services here at Queen's University, I have decided to create my own set of utlilities to analyze and plot data from MPB in Python. An early goal is to emulate Patterson's MPBBandstructure class while addressing some of it's shortcomings. But first and foremost, this project has been selfishly created for me to aid my ongoing transition from Matlab to Python. Adding proper documentation is on the table but with no guaranteed timeline till I can see the light at the end of the PhD tunnel. Stay tuned!

UPDATE: There is now a tutorial. Be patient, it's a slow WIP.
