<div style="word-wrap:break-word">Hi all,<div><br></div><div>Apologies for the spam, but I thought maybe the yt-users list would be good place to find some interest in this new library I wrote, pywwt:</div><div><br></div>
<div><a href="http://www.jzuhone.com/pywwt" target="_blank">http://www.jzuhone.com/pywwt</a></div><div><br></div><div>pywwt is a Python interface for the Microsoft World Wide Telescope (WWT, <a href="http://www.worldwidetelescope.org/" target="_blank">http://www.worldwidetelescope.org</a>) Windows client, using the Layer Control API (LCAPI). The LCAPI provides an interface to WWTs Layer Manager by sending data and information in the form of strings over HTTP. pywwt provides a straightforward Python interface to make these calls, enabling the control of WWT from scripts or an IPython notebook. Most importantly, it enables the passing of data created within a Python environment to WWT. </div>
<div><br></div><div>The upshot of this is that particle data that can be loaded into yt can be passed off to a World Wide Telescope client running on a Windows machine, either the same host or a host on the same network. </div>
<div><br></div><div>To see an example IPython notebook (complete with an example video!), visit: <a href="http://www.jzuhone.com/pywwt/pywwt_example.html" target="_blank">http://www.jzuhone.com/pywwt/pywwt_example.html</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>pywwt requires the following packages:<br><br><div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span> NumPy<br></div><div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span> Matplotlib<br></div><div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span> AstroPy<br>

<br></div>pywwt can be installed from pip:<br><br>pip install pywwt<br><br>or download the source from <a href="http://github.com/jzuhone/pywwt" target="_blank">http://github.com/jzuhone/pywwt</a> and install:</div><div>
<br>
</div><div>python setup.py install</div><div><br></div><div>My use cases are limited, and I'd be interested in what others could do with it, so if you are interested please fork the code and help develop!</div><div><br>
