====== PyCifRW ======

//PyCIFRW// provides support for reading and writing [[fileformat:cif|CIF (Crystallographic
Information Format)]] files using Python. It was developed at the
Australian National Beamline Facility (ANBF), run by the Australian
Synchrotron Research Program (ASRP), as part of a larger project to
provide CIF input/output capabilities for data collection. It is
now (Jan 2015) maintained and developed within the Australian Nuclear Science and
Technology Organisation (ANSTO).

It is available at [[https://pypi.org/project/PyCifRW/]]

//PyCIFRW// is used by [[software:polyxsim|PolyXSim]] to simulate multigrain diffraction based in a CIF file input. CIF-based input will not work if you do not have this python package installed.
