Exo_k is still evolving. Whether you have noticed a bug that needs fixing, or thought of a feature that you think should be added, the best way to make it happen for the moment is to send me an email at jeremy dot leconte at u-bordeaux.fr.
In order to speed up the process, please follow these steps:
In case of a bug, describe the problem and try to provide a minimal (not) working example exhibiting the unintended behavior. As much as possible, please provide a link to a minimal dataset if needed to reproduce the bug.
Please provide the number or commit SHA of the version you have been using.
Although it might sometimes seem obvious, please describe the intended behavior.
If you have come up with a solution, please provide it so it can be tested and implemented.
What about your data format?
For the specific case where you would like to see a particular format implemented (e.g. linked to a specific code generating or using radiative data), please provide a complete description of the format in question, including how to read/write the following attributes (some of these may be relevant to some specific data types only):
The arrays containing the temperature and pressure grids.
The arrays containing the wavenumber (or wavelength) of the centers (and edges for k-coefficients) of the spectral bins.
The array containing the opacity data (with a description of the opacity type: cross section per molecule or per unit mass, absorption coefficient, etc.).
The units used for all these parameters.
The name or identifier of the molecule described.
The quadrature weights (and possibly abcissa).
As nobody understands your data better than you, the easiest way to do this and make sure your data will be read/written properly is to provide a Python functions with the following format:
>>> def read_my_format(filename):
>>> 'Do what you gotta do'
>>> return pgrid, tgrid, wn_grid, ggrid, weights, opacity_data, p_unit, wn_unit, opacity_unit
>>> def write_my_format(filename, pgrid, tgrid, wn_grid, ggrid, weights, opacity_data):
>>> 'Creates the relevant file'
>>> return None
