RAPIDpy

RAPIDpy is a python interface for RAPID that assists to prepare inputs, runs the RAPID program, and provides post-processing utilities. More information about installation and the input parameters for RAPID can be found at http://rapid-hub.org. The source code for RAPID is located at https://github.com/c-h-david/rapid.
