About yambopy.
The aims of the yambopy project are to provide users with full control over the data produced by the simulations, as well as more flexibility in their workflows.

In particular, the package supports:

• Easy pre- and post-processing of the simulation data, including hard-to-get, database-encoded xml and netCDF data.
• Many visualization and plotting options.
• Input file parsing and generation.
• Abilty to run QE and Yambo executables both on local machines and HPC facilities.
• Command-line options for simple tasks.
• Simple automatization workflows (e.g., convergence tests).
• Hackability: user-specific functionalities can easily be added into the code.

Full documentation and test-suite are under development and will be released with version 1.0.
