This library wraps several Fortran implementations of Mie theory calculators ([1], [2], ... ) with a Python interface. The Fortran code itself has not been changed from their original form, and two-levels of drivers are available to run them. At the moment, an interface to the raw Mie codes (with all input parameters and output quantities) is not provided, although this functionality will probably be added in the future.
Currently, you can install the package directly from the source code or via pip. To install directly from source, download the source code and execute:
$ pip install -e .The package can also be installed directly from GitHub via the command:
$ pip install git+https://github.com/darothen/py-mie.git@branch-nameThe only package dependency is f2py via numpy or scipy.
To run the unit tests using nosetests, run the following:
$ nosetestsThis library was packaged by Daniel Rothenberg (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). The Mie code and specialized interfaces have been provided by:
- Rahul Zaveri (Pacific Northwest National Labs)
- Alexander Avramov (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
