Python ENDF Parser

ENDF Python Interface

endf is a Python package for reading and interpreting ENDF-6 and ACE format nuclear data files. Compared to other packages that provide functionality for working with ENDF and ACE files, this package has numerous advantages:

• Easily installable through pip
• Thoughtful API design targeting Python first
• Offers both a low-level interface for working with the raw data in an ENDF file as well as a more intuitive high-level interface
• Fast file-loading performance thanks to optimized read routines
• Fully documented, tested, and type-hinted

Installation

The endf Python package can be installed from the Python Package Index using pip:

python -m pip install endf

endf-python's Issues

Silent crash in float_endf

Hi,

Firstly, thanks for this tool - I am working on using it in my project NeSST (https://github.com/aidancrilly/NeSST).

I just wanted to document this issue I had. Some details, this occurred on a Windows machine, installed without error using pip and MSVC 2022. I could import the library but loading any endf file would silently crash. I suspected this was the pybind'ed C++ so I swapped from using float_endf from the C++ to the py_float_endf. The code then ran without crashing.

Is there a reason to use the C++ version over the python version?
