Description:

brainisotopicdistribution 1.5.17

:mod:brainpy is a small Python library implementing the B afflingly R ecursive
A lgorithm for I sotopic Patter N generation [Dittwald2014]_. It includes three implementations,
a pure-Python object oriented implementation, a :title-reference:Cython accelerated
version of the object oriented implementation, and a pure :title-reference:C implementation,
listed in order of ascending speed. The C implementation is used by default when available.
BRAIN, implemented in :func:brainpy.isotopic_variants, takes an elemental
composition represented by any :class:~.collections.abc.Mapping-like Python object and uses
it to compute its aggregated isotopic distribution. All isotopic variants of the same number
of neutrons are collapsed into a single centroid peak, meaning it does not consider isotopic
fine structure.
Installing
:mod:brainpy has three implementations, a pure Python implementation, a Cython translation
of that implementation, and a pure C implementation that releases the :title-reference:GIL.
To install from a package index, you will need to have a C compiler appropriate to your Python
version to build these extension modules. Additionally, there are prebuilt wheels for Windows
available on PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/brain-isotopic-distribution/>_:
.. code-block:: sh
$ pip install brain-isotopic-distribution

To build from source, in addition to a C compiler you will also need to install a recent version
of Cython <https://pypi.org/project/Cython/>_ to transpile C code.
