This was forked from: https://github.com/certified-spec/specPy. The filespec module was modified to work on pyhthon 3.7. This version might also work with python 2.7, but I did not tryed! See examples folder to see a simple example on how to use filespec module. Also, an specfile for testing may be found in fixtures folder.


The specPy python package contains different modules providing functionality related with the spec software (by Certified Scientific Software).

spec is an application by Certified Scientific Software (http://www.certif.com/) specialized in instrument control and data acquisition in X-Ray diffraction experiments and it is largely used and many synchrotrons, universities and laboratories around the world.

Modules in this package include:

filespec

This module gives full access to scans recorded in files writing with the spec file format.

The spec file format organizes scans (data from experimental acquisitions sequences) in blocks inside a file. Each block of data if preceded by a header block containing the metadata associated with the acquisition.

For a full description of the format and the description of its organization and keywords refer to the documentation distributed with this package.
