Python Library for PION

Created - 26|08|2019, Modified - 31|05|2022

Welcome to the Python Library that does post-processing on the .Silo simulation data files outputted from PION. The library works on nested-grid and uniform-grid, and 3D and 2D Silo files.

The relevant files can be found in src/pypion. You can use PlotData.py as a test script, it can call a 2D and a 3D function from PlottingClasses.py. See comments insted the python script on how to use it and change for your needs.

Install via pip:

You can now install PyPion via PyPi:

• Just run python3 -m pip install pypion

In some cases you may need to use sudo or install pip with: sudo apt install python3-pip

*Note: This is still in testing phase so errors may occur when installing. Please report problems to [email protected]
