... exists in different versions from different sources:
- https://github.com/bellatrics/pyPLUTO, alpha state from 2011, don't use
- https://github.com/coolastro/pyPLUTO, version 1.0 from 2012, don't use
- https://gitlab.mpcdf.mpg.de/sdoetsch/pypluto, modified version 4.4, maintained until 2022 ← use this
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/" # trailing slash! data=pp.pload(timestep, w_dir=wdir) # timestep = int, e.g. 1
(Unfortunately, pload()'s verbosity cannot be turned off, but in JupyterLab you can put %%capture --no-display as the first line of the cell.)
Now, data contains all the information of the given timestep. To obtain a specific variable, e.g. vx1, you can use data.vx1 to get a numpy array with all the values in that timestep. Moreover, x1, x2 and x3, as well as dx1, dx2 and dx3, contain the grid and its spacings, respectively.
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.
