We should improve the particle ID handling in PineAPPL. Some things that should be done:

* [ ]  Starting with commit [4e40743](https://github.com/N3PDF/pineappl/commit/4e40743929483f9e670069238e7368b77634ba76) we're implicitly assuming that the PDFs accept only PDG MC particle IDs. Shall we support also PDFs in the evolution basis?

I think we can rely on the input beeing lhapdf-like, meaning only accepting PDG MC PIDs - is that what you mean?

That's what we're doing right now, but I wonder whether this is a restriction. @scarlehoff When we ask the NNPDF library for a PDF, do we get it in the flavour basis, evolution basis, or can we ask for it?

You can ask for the basis you want when using vp.

It's only the convolution that has this restriction of the "evolution basis" (which, more than a restriction, as we have talked, is a convenience of not mixing basis)

But I guess for vp you don't get a callable xfxQ2(pid,x,Q2), but just a bunch of numbers, right? (because the 200=Singlet is an invention of us ...)

But we can create that callable easily (having access to such a callable is one of the things I've done. At the moment only accepts the lhapdf MC PIDs because I wanted it to be lhapdf-palatable but adding the rotation if needed is trivial.
