Python parsers for Igor Binary Waves (.ibw) and Packed Experiment
(.pxp) files written by WaveMetrics' IGOR Pro software.
Installation
============
Packages
--------
If `igor` already exists in your package manager's repository, you
should install `igor` in the usual way.
Gentoo
~~~~~~
I've packaged `igor` for Gentoo. You need layman_ and my `wtk
overlay`_. Install with::
# emerge -av app-portage/layman
# layman --add wtk
# emerge -av sci-misc/igor
Dependencies
------------
If you're installing by hand or packaging `igor` for another
distribution, you'll need the following dependencies:
=========== ================= ============================
Package Debian_ Gentoo_
=========== ================= ============================
Numpy_ python-numpy dev-python/numpy
Matplotlib_ python-matplotlib dev-python/matplotlib
Nose_ python-nose dev-python/nose
=========== ================= ============================
Installing by hand
------------------
`igor` is available as a Git_ repository::
$ git clone git://tremily.us/igor.git
See the homepage_ for details. To install the checkout, run the
standard::
$ python setup.py install
You can also automate this installation with pip_::
$ pip install igor
Usage
=====
See the docstrings and unit tests for examples using the Python API.
The package also installs to scripts, ``igorbinarywave.py`` and
``igorpackedexperiment.py`` which can be used to dump files to stdout.
For details on their usage, use the ``--help`` option. For example::
$ igorbinarywave.py --help
For users transitioning from igor.py_, there's a compatibility module
exposing the old interface. Just change::
import igor
to::
import igor.igorpy as igor
in your calling code.
Testing
=======
Run internal unit tests with::
$ nosetests --with-doctest --doctest-tests igor test
The data in the ``test/data`` directory is in the Git repository, but
it is not bundled with the source code. If you want the test data,
you'll have to clone the Git repository or download a snapshot.
Licence
=======
This project is distributed under the `GNU Lesser General Public
License Version 3`_ or greater, see the ``COPYING`` file distributed
with the project for details.

Release procedure
-----------------
When a new version of the package is ready, increment __version__
in ``igor/__init__.py`` and run update-copyright_::
$ update-copyright.py
to update the copyright blurbs. Then run::
$ python setup.py sdist upload
This will place a new version on PyPI.
