9 Python parsers for Igor Binary Waves (.ibw) and Packed Experiment
10 (.pxp) files written by WaveMetrics' IGOR Pro software.
18 If `igor` already exists in your package manager's repository, you
19 should install `igor` in the usual way.
24 I've packaged `igor` for Gentoo. You need layman_ and my `wtk
25 overlay`_. Install with::
27 # emerge -av app-portage/layman
29 # emerge -av sci-misc/igor
34 If you're installing by hand or packaging `igor` for another
35 distribution, you'll need the following dependencies:
37 =========== ================= ============================
38 Package Debian_ Gentoo_
39 =========== ================= ============================
40 Numpy_ python-numpy dev-python/numpy
41 Matplotlib_ python-matplotlib dev-python/matplotlib
42 Nose_ python-nose dev-python/nose
43 =========== ================= ============================
48 `igor` is available as a Git_ repository::
50 $ git clone git://tremily.us/igor.git
52 See the homepage_ for details. To install the checkout, run the
55 $ python setup.py install
57 You can also automate this installation with pip_.
64 See the docstrings and unit tests for examples using the Python API.
65 The package also installs to scripts, ``igorbinarywave.py`` and
66 ``igorpackedexperiment.py`` which can be used to dump files to stdout.
67 For details on their usage, use the ``--help`` option. For example::
69 $ igorbinarywave.py --help
71 For users transitioning from igor.py_, there's a compatibility module
72 exposing the old interface. Just change::
78 import igor.igorpy as igor
85 Run internal unit tests with::
87 $ nosetests --with-doctest --doctest-tests igor test
92 This project is distributed under the `GNU General Public License
93 Version 3`_ or greater.
108 When a new version of the package is ready, increment __version__
109 in igor.py and enter::
111 $ python setup.py sdist upload
113 This will place a new version on pypi.
