  • oriented on XTC processing, but could be extended to work with HDF5 data
  • should be easy to use and extend for end users
  • support re-use of the existing analysis code
  • allow parallel processing on multi-core systems
  • common simple configuration of user analysis code

This manual is accompanied by Pyana Reference Manual which describes interface of all analysis objects accessible to the user analysis job.

Framework Composition

The centerpiece of the framework is a regular Python application (pyana) which can load one or more user analysis modules which are also written in Python. The core application is responsible for the following tasks:
