sigpyproc
=========

**sigpyproc** is a FRB/pulsar data analysis library for Python. It provides an
OOP approach to pulsar data handling through the use of objects representing
different data types (e.g.
`SIGPROC filterbank <http://sigproc.sourceforge.net>`_,
`PSRFITS <https://www.atnf.csiro.au/research/pulsar/psrfits_definition/Psrfits.html>`_,
time series, fourier series, etc.).

As pulsar data processing is often time critical, speed is maintained using
the excellent `numba <https://numba.pydata.org/>`_ library.

`sigpyproc` is intended to be an Python alternative for the
`SIGPROC filterbank <http://sigproc.sourceforge.net>`_ pulsar signal processing toolbox.
Over time it has also developed and become an independent project in its own right.
Unlike `SIGPROC <http://sigproc.sourceforge.net>`_ and `PRESTO <https://github.com/scottransom/presto>`_,
`sigpyproc` does not currently have full capabilities as a piece of FRB/pulsar searching software.
Instead, `sigpyproc` provides data manipulation routines which are well suited to preprocessing
and micro-management of pulsar data. The structure of the package also makes it an ideal development
environment, with a simple plug-and-play system with new modules and extensions.
