PyHELICS

Python HELICS bindings

pip install helics

If you wish to get additional functionality in the CLI (experimental), you can install it using the following:

pip install 'helics[cli]'

Documentation

To use the project:

import helics as h
h.helicsGetVersion()

See https://docs.helics.org for more information about how to use HELICS.

This package uses cffi to provide a Python interface to the HELICS C API.

By default, when you install from PyPI, the version number of the package will match the version of HELICS that is installed. For example, if you run the following:

pip install helics

You will also get precompiled binaries of HELICS for your platform if they exist. If they don't exist, a source distribution will attempt to be built and installed. The user can also provide the location of the binaries if they wish to do so. For more information, see https://python.helics.org/installation.

Debugging

Please share the output of the following command when creating an issue:

$ python -c "import helics as h; import json; print(json.dumps(h.helicsGetSystemInfo(), indent=4, sort_keys=True))"
