Open Source Python Physics Software for Linux

The General Mission Analysis Tool (GMAT) is an open-source tool for space mission design and navigation. GMAT is developed by a team of NASA, private industry, and public and private contributors. The GMAT development team is pleased to announce the release of GMAT version R2026a. For a complete list of new features, compatibility changes, and bug fixes, see the R2026a Release Notes in the Users Guide.

A NEW GUI VERSION WILL BE RELEASED SOON!

Larch is a scientific data processing language that is designed to be easy to use for novices and complete enough for advanced data processing and analysis. Larch provides a wide range of functionality for dealing with arrays of scientific data, and basic tools to make it easy to use and organize complex data. Larch has been primarily developed for dealing with x-ray spectroscopic and scattering data, especially the kind of data collected at modern synchrotrons and x-ray sources. Larch is written in Python and relies heavily on the standard tools for scientific computing with Python (numpy, scipy, matplotlib, and h5py).

MCNPydE is a Python library for extracting data from MCNP output file. It requires Python, Matplotlib and Numpy. It is a data reduction tool for MCNP output for ease of results analysis and viewing.

NanoCap is a generic application for the construction of low energy fullerene and capped nanotube structures. It provides an ideal tool to accompany the study of finite carbon molecules using computer simulation. The implementation involves a standalone application which includes a GUI and allows for dynamic visual inspection through 3D rendering. In addition, the NanoCap core libraries can be used in custom Python scripts that enabled the user to produce structures in bulk or to include the structure generation routines into pre-existing code.

OpenPIV is an initiative of scientists to develop a software, algorithms and methods for the state-of-the-art experimental tool of Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) which are free, open source, and easy to operate.

We are trying to create a very complete physics teaching program. So, we would be pleased if you could suggest any improvement or create any module for us. To use any of these sources you need python 2.2, pygame and scipy.

A toolkit of Python software useful in a laboratory data acquisition and analysis environment. Includes support for such protocols as VXI-11 (and its extension, LXI), Vernier LabPro (now very old), and National Instruments DSTP (now very old). Also includes data analysis and modelling tidbits. Python3 updates are on the way in the very near future for the biggest packages. the vxi11 package is fully up-to-date, although see the blog post about python 3.13

QuickFlash is a C++-based analysis library for data files generated by the Flash hydrodynamics code. It provides high-performance access to large datasets in low memory situations and other restrictive environments.

Now maintained at github.com/spacepy/spacepy Space Science library for Python - contains superposed epoch classes, drift shell tracing, access to magnetic field models, streamline tracing, bootstrap confidence limits, time and coordinate conversions, etc.

Fitta is a program for making and plotting statistical fits, simple and weighted fit, high quality plots thanks to the matplotlib library

PAScual is a data analysis suite for Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy (PALS).
