simple python wrapper to run SNID
Assuming you already have snid installed see here
Simply pip install pysnid
If you want to fit a spectra stored under filename=YOUR_DIR_PATH/spectra.ascii
Then:
import pysnid
snidres = pysnid.run_snid(filename)snidres is a custom made object (SNIDReader) that contains useful tools to access and visualise SNID input and output.
the input data is stored as snidres.data (DataFrame) and the snid result table as snidres.results.
for instance:
snidres.results
To visualize the template matching do (here the best matches 1, 2 and 4 (only the fist is shown by default) :
snidres.show(models=[1,2,4])
pysnid.run_snid() creates by default a new h5 file with the same path as the input file but for the extension replaced by _snid.h5. Use pysnid.SNIDReader.from_filename(outfile) to read this file.
