babyyoda has the advantages
- works with just Python 3 and can be installed with pip.
- makes it easy to manipulate the bin contents (compared to YODA-1).
- tries to adhere to the UHI standard.
- is easy to plot in a Jupyter notebook.
- keeps data representation close to the yoda file format.
and the disadvantages to yoda are that it
- is slower.
- is not as feature complete.
- is not as well tested.
- only has histogram support.
pip install babyyodababyyoda is designed to be a drop-in replacement for yoda with a few key differences:
import babyyoda as yodawith UHI support.
It can use either yoda (C++) or babyyoda.grogu (Python) as backend.
At some point the UHI support might be adapted by the original yoda package.
For a less feature complete version, babyyoda.grogu is a simpler python drop-in replacement for yoda without UHI:
import babyyoda.grogu as yodaor force yoda use with
