Installation
(... as non-administrator)
- Grab the files off of gitlab e.g. in ZIP format and unzip them into a local folder.
- Inside the extracted folder, enter your python environment (e.g. conda) and run
python3 setup.py install.
Usage
import pyPLUTO.pload as pp wdir='/path/to/data/files' data=pp.pload(timestep, w_dir=wdir) # timestep = int, e.g. 1
Now, data contains all the information of the given timestep. To obtain a specific variable, e.g. x1, you can use data.x1 to get a numpy array with all the values in that timestep.
Note: Up to version 4.1 it used to be not import pyPLUTO.pload as pp but import pyPLUTO as pp, which still may appear in documentations.
