Spectroscopy Made Easy (SME) is a software tool that fits an observed spectrum of a star with a model spectrum. Since its initial release in 1996, SME has been a suite of IDL routines that call a dynamically linked library, which is compiled from C++ and fortran. This classic IDL version of SME is available for download.

In 2018, we began began reimplmenting the IDL part of SME in python 3, adopting an object oriented paradigm and continuous itegration practices (code repository, build automation, self-testing, frequent builds).

This project is very far from completion, so unless you want to help the python development effort, use the IDL version.
