*Pycsou-sphere* is an extension module of the Python 3 package `Pycsou `_ for solving linear inverse problems on the sphere. The extension offers implementations of spherical zonal *convolution* operators as well as the spherical harmonic and Fourier-Legendre transforms (all compatible with Pycsou's interface for linear operators). It also provides numerical routines for computing the Green kernels of common spherical pseudo-differential operators and generating spherical meshes/point sets.

This module heavily relies and follows similar conventions as the `healpy `_ package for spherical signal processing with Python.

Content
=======

The package, named `pycsphere `_, is organised as follows:

1. The subpackage ``pycsphere.linop`` implements the following common spherical linear operators:

* Convolution/pooling operators,
* Spherical transforms and their inverses,
* Finite-difference spherical differential operators.

2. The subpackage ``pycsphere.mesh`` provides routines for generating spherical meshes.
3. The subpackage ``pycsphere.green`` provides numerical routines for computing the Green kernels of common spherical pseudo-differential operators.

Installation
============

Pycsou-sphere requires Python 3.6 or greater. It is developed and tested on x86_64 systems running MacOS and Linux.

Dependencies
------------

Before installing Pycsou-sphere, make sure that the base package `Pycsou `_ is correctly installed on your machine.
Installation instructions for Pycsou are available at `that link `_.

The package extra dependencies are listed in the files ``requirements.txt`` and ``requirements-conda.txt``.
It is recommended to install those extra dependencies using `Miniconda `_ or
`Anaconda `_. This
is not just a pure stylistic choice but comes with some *hidden* advantages, such as the linking to
``Intel MKL`` library (a highly optimized BLAS library created by Intel).

.. code-block:: bash

>> conda install --channel=conda-forge --file=requirements-conda.txt

Quick Install
-------------

Pycsou-sphere is also available on `Pypi `_. You can hence install it very simply via the command:

.. code-block:: bash

>> pip install pycsou-sphere

If you have previously activated your conda environment ``pip`` will install Pycsou in said environment.
Otherwise it will install it in your ``base`` environment together with the various dependencies obtained from the file ``requirements.txt``.

Developer Install
------------------

It is also possible to install Pycsou-sphere from the source for developers:

.. code-block:: bash

>> git clone https://github.com/matthieumeo/pycsou-sphere
>> cd /
>> pip install -e .

The package documentation can be generated with:

.. code-block:: bash

>> conda install sphinx=='2.1.*' \
sphinx_rtd_theme=='0.4.*'
>> python3 setup.py build_sphinx

You can verify that the installation was successful by running the package doctests:

.. code-block:: bash

>> python3 test.py
