Module contents¶

Python wrappers for software packages

Some software packages contain useful routines, but are not available as Python extension modules. Modules are defined for those external packages which hide the (command-line) programs from the Python user. Hence a Python interface and syntax is available to use the routines in the software packages. Note that the routines in these modules are used in other places and their particular names remain invisible. This is done to ensure easy replacement of the package by (or comparison with) another package that provides the same functionality.
