Prolate spheroidal wave functions

A Python module that wraps directly the prolate_swf.f90 code at https://github.com/MathieuandSpheroidalWaveFunctions/prolate_swf, providing access to the subroutine version of the prolate spheroidal wave code in that file.

Once installed in Python, the package can be used thus:

from spheroidalwavefunctions import prolate_swf
r = prolate_swf.profcn(c=0.5, m=0, lnum=10, x1=0.5, ioprad=2, iopang=2, iopnorm=0, arg=[0.1, 0.2])

Function calling details can be viewed via:

print(prolate_swf.profcn.__doc__)

and further details on the function parameters are available in the documentation. A wrapper that provides a similar interface to the spheroidal functions in scipy is available in the Utilities module of echoSMs.

The original readme file, modified to work better in Markdown, is available here.
