Pisces: A practical seismological database library in Python.

Pisces

Pisces is a practical seismological database library in Python. Connect your Python analysis environment to a seismological database, without having to use a separate data-management language, like SQL or shell scripts. Pisces uses common open-source technologies and standards, and allows you to write portable, extensible, and scalable code.
