A Practical Seismological Database Library in Python.
Project description
# Pisces
Pisces is a Python library that connects your geophysical analysis environment to a SQL database that uses the Center for Seismic Studies (CSS) 3.0 or NNSA KB Core table schema.
Documentation: <http://jkmacc-lanl.github.io/pisces>
Repository: <https://github.com/jkmacc-LANL/pisces>
## Features
Import/export waveforms directly to/from your database.
- Build database queries using Python objects and methods
([SQLAlchemy](http:/www.sqlalchemy.org)), not by concatenating SQL strings.
Integration with [ObsPy](http://www.obspy.org).
Geographic filtering of results.
## Installation
Requires:
ObsPy
SQLAlchemy
Click
C compiler
Install from [PyPI](https://pypi.python.org/pypi):

# Recent History
([full change log](CHANGELOG.md))
## 0.2.2
### Changes
pisces.util.get_tables, pisces.util.make_tables, and pisces.util.get_or_create_tables are deprecated and will raise a warning.
pisces.request.get_waveforms now has a tol keyword that will raise an exception if any returned waveform is not within tol seconds from the requested starttime/endtime.
Added –bbfk flag to pisces sac2db, which uses the broadband f-k (BBFK) convention of reading x, y array offset distances in the USER 7, 8 SAC header variables and storing them Site.dnorth and Site.deast.
Windows support! Thanks to @mitchburnett! e1 and convert C libraries now build (using MSVC).
Automated testing on Mac OSX, Linux, and Windows 7, for Python 2.7 and 3.4, thanks to Travis CI and Appveyor.
Require ObsPy > 1.0
### Bug fixes
Fixed sac2db wfdisc.foff (issue #12) and wfdisc.dir (issue #11) handling.
