An open source community developed Python 3.6+ package for plasma physics in the early stages of development. PlasmaPy intends to be for plasmas what Astropy is for astronomy - a collection of functionality commonly used and shared between plasma physicists and researchers globally, running within and leveraging the open source scientific Python ecosystem. The goals of this project are more thoroughly described in our vision statement and an earlier conference poster.
We created a guide on contributing to PlasmaPy and have a code of conduct. New contributors are very welcome!
If you have any questions, please send us a message at our Riot/Gitter channel or contact Nick Murphy at namurphy@cfa.harvard.edu, Yi-Min Huang at yiminh@princeton.edu, or Drew Leonard at andy.j.leonard@gmail.com.
We're not on pip or conda just yet, but we're working on it! Meanwhile check out our instructions on installing PlasmaPy from source.
PlasmaPy requires Python 3.6 and is not compatible with Python 2.
