Installation

Python versions PyPI version PyPI format

lasio is written to be compatible with Python 2.6+, and 3.2+. The best way to install is using pip.

(test) C:\Users\kent>pip install lasio

This will download and install lasio’s dependencies (numpy and ordereddict).

There are some other packages which lasio will use to provide extra functionality if they are installed (pandas, cChardet and/or chardet, openpyxl, and argparse). I recommend installing these too with:

(test) C:\Users\kent\Code\lasio>pip install -r optional-packages.txt

lasio is now installed. See the following pages for examples of how to use the package.

To upgrade to the latest PyPI version, use:

(test2) C:\Users\kent\Code\testing\lasio>pip install --upgrade lasio

Development version

Installing via pip gets the latest release which has been published on PyPI.

The source code for lasio is kept at:

https://github.com/kinverarity1/lasio

Updates are made much more frequently to the master branch here. If you have Git installed, you can keep up to date with these changes:

(test2) C:\Users\kent\Code\testing>git clone https://github.com/kinverarity1/lasio

(test2) C:\Users\kent\Code\testing>cd lasio

(test2) C:\Users\kent\Code\testing\lasio>pip install -r requirements.txt

(test2) C:\Users\kent\Code\testing\lasio>python setup.py develop

To update your version with the latest changes on GitHub:

(test2) C:\Users\kent\Code\testing\lasio>git pull origin master

Testing

Every time lasio is updated, automated tests are run:

  • Build Status Travis Travis CI: Linux, Python versions 2.7, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6.
  • Build Status Appveyor Appveyor CI: Windows, Python versions 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6.

lasio should also work on Python 2.6 and 3.2, but these are tested only occassionally.

To run tests yourself, first install the testing framework and all the optional packages:

(test2) C:\Users\kent\Code\testing\lasio>pip install pytest

(test2) C:\Users\kent\Code\testing\lasio>pip install -r optional-packages.txt

And then run tests:

(test2) C:\Users\kent\Code\testing\lasio>py.test
