Fork notice. This is a modified fork of tmolteno/python-necpp, adding redistributable cross-platform (manylinux + Windows/MSVC) wheels, an OpenBLAS LAPACK backend, and an OpenMP-parallelised matrix fill. It remains licensed under GPL-2.0-or-later. See CHANGES.md for the list of modifications and where to obtain the corresponding source for the published wheels.

This repository contains two wrappers for the [http://github.com/tmolteno/necpp nec2++] antenna simulation package:

• necpp/ contains a wrapper using SWIG of the C interface (Python module name: necpp).
• PyNEC/ contains a wrapper of the C++ interfaces (Python module name: PyNEC). The example/ directory furthermore contains some nicer, more readable Python wrappers that make toying around with NEC a less painful experience.

Both are based on Tim Molteno ([email protected])'s code with major cleanup by Bart Coppens.

The cleaner API should really be ported to C++, so the clean wrappers get automatically generated, and C++ can use the same cleaner interface. But for now, I'm happy with the Python wrapper :)
