KM3NeT TestData
A package to get access to KM3NeT sample files for testing and development purposes.
Installation and usage
pip install km3net-testdata
The file paths can be access in Python scripts using the data_path()
function:
from km3net_testdata import data_path()
filename = data_path("km3net_offline.root")
Notice the underscore in the Python package name (PyPI forces -
but Python
package names are not allowed to use -
).
To use the module in e.g. shell scripts, the module can be called directly and print the filepath:
$ python -m km3net_testdata km3net_offline.root
/full/path/to/km3net_offline.root
