Using Ifeffit from Python

Writing Python scripts and applications that use Ifeffit is easy, making Python an excellent choice for writing analysis scripts that exceed what simple Ifeffit command files can accomplish. This page will describe how to do this is more detail.

downloads and installation

For Windows, I recommend using Python 2.6 or Python 2.7 (the Python 3.* series is not yet supported). Download one of these two installers

and click-through the install.

For Linux / Unix, and Mac OS X, the source kit will work well. Download

and do

 tar xvzf PyIfeffit-2.0.1.tar.gz
 cd PyIfeffit-2.0.1
 sudo python setup.py install
