sunpy is a Python software package that provides fundamental tools for accessing, loading and interacting with solar physics data in Python.
It includes an interface for searching and downloading data from multiple data providers, data containers for image and time series data, commonly used solar coordinate frames and associated transformations, as well as other functionality needed for solar data analysis.
We expect authentic engagement in our community. Be wary of posting output from Large Language Models or similar generative AI as comments on GitHub or any other platform, as such comments tend to be formulaic and low quality content. If you use generative AI tools as an aid in developing code or documentation changes, ensure that you fully understand the proposed changes and can explain why they are the correct approach and an improvement to the current state.
We recommended following the installation guide <https://docs.sunpy.org/en/stable/guide/installation.html>__ in the sunpy documentation.
This will walk you through installing sunpy and all of its dependencies.
If you are new to sunpy, the best place to start is the tutorial <https://docs.sunpy.org/en/stable/tutorial/index.html>.
the example gallery <https://docs.sunpy.org/en/stable/generated/gallery/index.html> also includes a collection of shorter and more specific examples of using sunpy.
See our changelog <https://docs.sunpy.org/en/stable/whatsnew/changelog.html>__. for the latest changes in sunpy.
