Documentation#

Welcome to the docs for isoc, a Python package for querying and retrieving isochrones from the MIST/MESA and Padova/PARSEC databases (or from local files obtained from these databases). It has a simple user interface and relies on ezpadova as a backend for queries to the Padova PARSEC database, and a custom backend for queries to the MIST database.

Install isoc with pip, after first installing ezpadova (a dependency that is not on PyPI and so must be installed separately):

pip install git+https://github.com/mfouesneau/ezpadova.git
pip install isoc-astro

See the quickstart tutorial for a simple overview of how to use the package. Or see the API for more detail. If you have any questions or suggestions, please open an issue.
