PyGAMer

PyGAMer is a Python wrapper of the core GAMer library. The gamer python module is built in gamer_build_static/lib/python3.4/site-packages/gamer

Make sure to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH or (DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH on Mac) and PYTHONPATH before you run any programs or try using PyGAMer

export BUILD_DIR=your_path_to/gamer_build_static
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$BUILD_DIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PYTHONPATH=$BUILD_DIR/lib/python2.6/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH

On Mac:

export BUILD_DIR=your_path_to/gamer_build_static
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$BUILD_DIR/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PYTHONPATH=$BUILD_DIR/lib/python3.4/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH

To test the main functionality you can run the test script in gamer/swig/test.

cd gamer/swig/test
python gamer_test.py
