labpython == 0.3.0

About

labpython (imported as labpy) is a collection of modules created to simplify gathering and processing experimental data. It also features a collection of modules inside labpy.devices namespace for high-level communication with various devices using pyvisa and pydaqmx backends. See documentation for detailed information.

Installation

Package can be installed from PyPI using:

pip install labpython

Or directly from github:

pip install https://github.com/franciszekjuras/labpy/tarball/master

Use [full] argument to install extra packages for data processing:

pip install labpython[full]

If you want to modify the package source code it's convenient to install it in developer mode. In order to do this:

• create and activate a virtual environment,
• clone or download repo from github,
• navigate to its main directory (the one in which this README.md resides),
• execute: pip install -e .
• now you can use import labpy anywhere and any changes to the source code will be visible without reinstallation (if using jupyter kernel must be restarted)

Documentation

Relatively recent documentation can be browsed here. If you want to generate documentation yourself, you can use pdoc:

pip install pdoc
pdoc labpy

import os
import importlib.metadata
# __version__ = importlib.metadata.version('labpython')
__version__ = '0.3.0'
dirname = os.path.dirname(__file__)
__doc__ = f"`labpython == {__version__}`\n"
try:
    with open(os.path.join(dirname, '../README.md')) as f:
        __doc__ += f.read()
except:
    pass
