emcee is a stable, well tested Python implementation of the affine-invariant ensemble sampler for Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) proposed by Goodman & Weare (2010) <http://cims.nyu.edu/~weare/papers/d13.pdf>_. The code is open source and has already been used in several published projects in the Astrophysics literature.
