This package provides a Python API to open, create, and manipulate NeXus data written in the HDF5 format. It also includes a remote file server to allow files to be opened across a network. The 'nexusformat' package provides the underlying API for NeXpy, which provides a GUI interface for visualizing and analyzing NeXus data.
The latest development version is always available from NeXpy's GitHub repository.
Released versions of nexusformat can be installed using either
$ pip install nexusformat
or
$ easy_install nexusformat
The source code can be downloaded from the NeXpy Git repository:
$ git clone http://github.com/nexpy/nexusformat.git
To install in the standard Python location:
$ python setup.py install
To install in an alternate location:
$ python setup.py install --prefix=/path/to/installation/dir
The following libraries are used by the full installation of NeXpy. There is more details of the nature of these dependencies in the NeXpy documentation.
- h5py http://www.h5py.org
- numpy http://numpy.org
The remote server requires the Pyro4 package.
The following environment variable may need to be set
PYTHONPATH --> paths to numpy if installed in a nonstandard place
All of the above are included in the Enthought Python Distribution v7.3.
Consult the NeXpy documentation for details of both the Python command-line API and how to use the NeXpy GUI. If you have any general questions concerning the use of NeXpy, please address them to the NeXus Mailing List. If you discover any bugs, please submit a Github issue, preferably with relevant tracebacks.
