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. -Thomas(cultpenguin@gmail.com), July 22, 2005. - -## ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ## -The Ibm2Ieee conversion routines are developed and made availabe for SegyPY by Secchi Angelo, who thanks Howard Lightstone and Anton Vredegoor for their help. +Pull requests, bug reports and suggestions for improvements are most welcome! +Authors: + - Robert Smallshire 2011 to date + - Thomas Mejer Hansen 2005 +The Ibm2Ieee conversion routines are developed and made availabe for SegyPY by Secchi Angelo, who thanks Howard +Lightstone and Anton Vredegoor for their help.
