treams

The package treams provides a framework to simplify computations of the electromagnetic scattering of waves at finite and at periodic arrangements of particles based on the T-matrix method.

Installation

Installation using pip

To install the package with pip, use

pip install treams

If you're using the system wide installed version of python, you might consider the --user option.
