Python Utilities

PIConGPU python package includes plugin output processing tools, tools listed below and our PICMI and PyPIConGPU interface. We suggest installing the picongpu package with pip. Due to how our current PICMI implementation manages relative paths it has to be installed with the -e option (in edit mode, without copying source files out of PIConGPU source). This will also install all the required dependencies.

pip install -e $PICSRC/lib/python/
