heatsim2 is a package for finite difference calculations of heat
conduction.

It is designed to let you define the grid and boundary conditions
from Python, while implementing the calculations using optimized C
code. It uses an alternating direction implicit (ADI) Crank-
Nicholson solver. 

Requirements:
  Python 2 or Python 3
  Numpy
  Cython, configured with a C compiler
  Matplotlib (recommended; required for demos)


Installation:
  "python setup.py build"  to compile
  "python setup.py install" to install into your site-packages directory

Documentation:
  See doc/heatsim2_doc.xhtml
