sunpy is a Python software package that provides fundamental tools for accessing, loading and interacting with solar physics data in Python. It includes an interface for searching and downloading data from multiple data providers, data containers for image and time series data, commonly used solar coordinate frames and associated transformations, as well as other functionality needed for solar data analysis.

Installation

We recommend following the installation guide <https://docs.sunpy.org/en/stable/guide/installation.html>__ in the sunpy documentation. This will walk you through installing sunpy and all of its dependencies.

Usage

If you are new to sunpy, the best place to start is the tutorial <https://docs.sunpy.org/en/stable/tutorial/index.html>. The example gallery <https://docs.sunpy.org/en/stable/generated/gallery/index.html> also includes a collection of shorter and more specific examples of using sunpy.

Changes

See our changelog <https://docs.sunpy.org/en/stable/whatsnew/changelog.html>__ for the latest changes in sunpy.
