SegyPY : A Python module for reading/writing of SEG-Y formatted files
Copyright (C) 2005 Thomas Mejer Hansen, cultpenguin@gmail.com
The SEG Y file format is one of several standards developed by the Society of Exploration Geophysicists for storing
geophysical seismic data. Segpy is a package for reading, writing and manipulating SEG Y data in pure Python.
Currently you can READ IBM Floats, IEEE, 1, 2 and 4 byte INTEGER formatted data, and WRITE anything but IBM Floats.
Segpy is a fork of the Segypy package originally put together by Thomas Mejer Hansen under an LGPL license. I was
unsuccessful in my attempts to contact Hansen in order to contribute improvements, hence the fork under a different name, which of course
remains under the LGPL license.
With time I would like the module to have the capabilities of SegyMAT : http://segymat.sf.net/
I have cleaned up the code towards being modern, idiomatic Python and made it compatible with Python 2 and Python 3.
