PyPestUtils

Suite of Python tools based on PEST utilities.

This package is currently in pre-alpha development, and is not suitable for use, but early adopters are welcome to have a go.

Installation

Easy way

Use pip to install a built distribution for Windows, Linux or macOS:

pip install pypestutils

to also include optional requirements use:

pip install pypestutils[optional]

From source

Installation from source requires a Fortran compiler and meson. Use the following sections to build a shared library of pestutils, which then needs to be copied into the module path pypestutils/lib/ to enable it to be found.

Build pestutils on Linux / macOS

A script that can be used to configure build and install the shared library is ./scripts/build_lib.sh.

Or manually:

meson setup builddir --prefix=$(pwd)/inst
meson compile -C builddir

# copy for Python module
mkdir pypestutils/lib
# for Linux
cp builddir/pestutils/libpestutils.so pypestutils/lib/
# for macOS
cp builddir/pestutils/libpestutils.dylib pypestutils/lib/
# for Windows via MSYS2
cp builddir/pestutils/pestutils.dll pypestutils/lib/

Build pestutils on Windows

There are two methods to compile Fortran code on Windows, using MSYS2 via bash or a conda environment via cmd. MSYS2 can use ./scripts/build_lib.sh similar to Linux or to use a conda environment with m2w64-gcc-fortran and meson and call .\scripts\build_lib.bat. On Windows, the shared library name is pestutils.dll, which needs to be copied into the module path pypestutils\lib\ to enable it to be found.

Install pypestutils

After a shared library of pestutils is compiled and placed into pypestutils/lib/ install an "editable" version of this Python package:

pip install -e .
