Python interface

EveryBeam provides an interface via the everybeam module. In order to build this module, make sure the compile option BUILD_WITH_PYTHON is turned ON.

After successfully compiling and installing the python bindings, you should update your LD_LIBRARY_PATH and your PYTHONPATH as follows:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<installpath>/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PYTHONPATH=<installpath>/lib/python<VERSION_MAJOR>.<VERSION_MINOR>/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH

where VERSION_MAJOR and VERSION_MINOR depend upon the specific version of python on your system. The everybeam module can now be imported in python with:

import everybeam

For further examples on how the everybeam module can be used, reference is made to the Python Demos.
