Python scripts to analyze data from Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics using existing libraries to import data. In particular, the main difference with existing MESA-specific libraries, pandas module is used, allowing fast file reading.
These codes are developed as a tool for my end of degree thesis. There are 2 kinds of files: scripts which make use of argparse in order to be executed directly from the command line and files containing collections of functions, which are inside the .
In order to be able to import the functions, the path of the repository has to be added with the sys module. Below there is an example of how to import the functions without the need of any setup.py:
import sys
sys.path.append('/path/to/pyMESA/')
import pymesa.tools as pym
There is also the option of using PYTHONPATH instead, see this link for more info.
Many of the codes use already existing libraries to import and plot data from MESA results:
Therefore, they may require to have at least one of them installed. If both mesaPlot and nugridpy are correctly installed, all the codes should work properly.
