Python interface

The python interface to IRA library is located in the file /IRA/interface/ira_mod.py. It specifies wrappers to the fortran functions in IRA/src. For complete details refer to Fortran source.

class ira_mod.algo(shlib='')

This is the python interface to the IRA and SOFI shared library file libira.so. In order to use it, install it via pip from the root directory:

python -m pip install .

Or, compile the IRA library with any other build tool, and then add the directory of this file to the environment variable PYTHONPATH:

export PYTHONPATH=/your/path/to/IRA/interface:$PYTHONPATH

Then IRA and SOFI can be imported and used in python as:

>>> import ira_mod
>>> print( ira_mod.version )
>>> ira = ira_mod.IRA()
>>> sofi = ira_mod.SOFI( )

get_version()

obtain the IRA library version
