This library was modified to make a Python C Extension. This makes the library easy to install if you have the proper compilers installed. Additionally, I published Windows .whl binaries to pypi.org.
wmm2020_cext has prebuilt Windows binaries (.whl files), so the library can easily be installed with pip.
python -m pip install wmm2020_cextUse with wmm2020
import wmm2020
import numpy as np
wmm2020.wmm(np.array([0]), np.array([0]), 0, 0)Install Visual Studio C Compilers https://wiki.python.org/moin/WindowsCompilers to compile the C extension.
If this is done correctly you can simply pip install ./path/to/library or build your binaries
python setup.py bdist_wheel (or pip wheel --no-deps ./path/to/library). The wheel library is required.
WMM2020 World Magnetic Model...in simple, object-oriented Python. WMM2015 is also available. Tested on Linux, Mac and Windows. Most C compilers work. At this time Visual Studio is not supported since MSVC doesn't export function symbols without additional headers, which is typically done with something like SWIG.
for the latest release from PyPi:
python -m pip install wmm2020Optionally, to get the cutting-edge development version:
git clone https://github.com/space-physics/wmm2020
python -m pip install -e wmm2020This Python wrapper of WMM2020 uses our build-on-run technique. The first time you use WMM2020, you will see messages from the Meson build system and your C compiler.
an example script
python RunWMM2020.pyor as a Python module:
import wmm2020
mag = wmm2020.wmm(glat, glon, alt_km, yeardec)- WMM2020 inclination map
- WMM2020 declination map
