Concise Description

Easily integrate SSWIDL scripts into your Python workflow via Jinja templates

Description

Seamlessly integrate SSWIDL code into your Python workflow. The SolarSoftware (SSW) stack contains nearly every piece of software a solar physicist needs. hissw is a lightweight Python package that allows you to write IDL scripts (either inline or in a separate file) which use your installed SSW packages and return the results to your local Python namespace. hissw uses Jinja2 templates to generate SSW startup scripts and then runs your IDL code using subprocess. You can also use Jinja syntax to inject arguments from Python into IDL. The results are then saved to a file and then loaded back in using scipy.io.readsav().
