        =================

        **Pyccel** stands for Python extension language using accelerators.
        
        The aim of **Pyccel** is to provide a simple way to generate automatically, parallel low level code. The main uses would be:
        
        1. Convert a *Python* code (or project) into a Fortran
        
        2. Accelerate *Python* functions by converting them to *Fortran* then calling *f2py*. For the moment, only *f2py* is available, but we are working on other solutions too (*f2x* and *fffi*)
        
        **Pyccel** can be viewed as:
        
        - *Python-to-Fortran* converter
        
        - a compiler for a *Domain Specific Language* with *Python* syntax
        
        Pyccel comes with a selection of **extensions** allowing you to convert calls to some specific python packages to Fortran. The following packages will be covered (partially):
        
        - numpy
        - scipy
        - mpi4py
        - h5py (not available yet)
        
        Requirements
        ============
        
        First of all, Pyccel requires a working Fortran compiler; it supports
        
        - GFortran <https://gcc.gnu.org/fortran/>
        - Intel® Fortran Compiler <https://software.intel.com/en-us/fortran-compilers>
        - PGI Fortran <https://www.pgroup.com/index.htm>
        
        In order to perform fast linear algebra calculations, Pyccel uses the following libraries:
        
        - BLAS (Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms) <http://www.netlib.org/blas/>
        - LAPACK (Linear Algebra PACKage) <http://www.netlib.org/lapack/>
        
        Finally, Pyccel supports distributed-memory parallel programming through the Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard; hence it requires an MPI library like
        
        - Open-MPI <https://www.open-mpi.org/>
        - MPICH <https://www.mpich.org/>
        - Intel® MPI Library <https://software.intel.com/en-us/mpi-library>
        
        We recommend using GFortran and Open-MPI.
        
        Pyccel also depends on several Python3 packages, which are automatically downloaded by pip, the Python Package Installer, during the installation process. In addition to these, unit tests require the *mpi4py*, *pytest* and *coverage* packages, while building the documentation requires Sphinx <http://www.sphinx-doc.org/>.
        
        Linux Debian/Ubuntu/Mint
        ************************
        
        To install all requirements on a Linux Ubuntu machine, just use APT, the Advanced Package Tool::
        
          sudo apt update
          sudo apt install gfortran
          sudo apt install libblas-dev liblapack-dev
          sudo apt install libopenmpi-dev openmpi-bin
        
        Linux Fedora/CentOS/RHEL
        ************************
        
        Install all requirements using the DNF software package manager::
        
          su
          dnf check-update
          dnf install gfortran
          dnf install blas-devel lapack-devel
          dnf install openmpi-devel
          exit
        
        Similar commands work on Linux openSUSE, just replace ``dnf`` with ``zypper``.
        
        Mac OS X
        ********
        
        On an Apple Macintosh machine we recommend using Homebrew <https://brew.sh/>::
        
          brew update
          brew install gcc
          brew install openblas
          brew install lapack
          brew install open-mpi
        
        This requires that the Command Line Tools (CLT) for Xcode are installed.
        
        Windows
        *******
        
        Support for Windows is still experimental, and the installation of all requirements is more cumbersome.
        We recommend using Chocolatey <https://chocolatey.org/> to speed up the process, and we provide commands that work in a git-bash shell.
        In an Administrator prompt install git-bash (if needed), a Python3 Anaconda distribution, and a GCC compiler::
        
          choco install git
          choco install anaconda3
          choco install mingw
        
        Open git-bash as Administrator. Change default C compiler from M$ to mingw in Anaconda::
        
          echo -e "[build]\ncompiler = mingw32" > /c/tools/Anaconda3/Lib/distutils/distutils.cfg
        
        Download x64 BLAS and LAPACK DLLs from https://icl.cs.utk.edu/lapack-for-windows/lapack/::
        
          WEB_ADDRESS=https://icl.cs.utk.edu/lapack-for-windows/libraries/VisualStudio/3.7.0/Dynamic-MINGW/Win64
          LIBRARY_DIR=/c/ProgramData/chocolatey/lib/mingw/tools/install/mingw64/lib
          curl $WEB_ADDRESS/libblas.dll -o $LIBRARY_DIR/libblas.dll
          curl $WEB_ADDRESS/liblapack.dll -o $LIBRARY_DIR/liblapack.dll
        
        Generate static MS C runtime library from corresponding dynamic link library::
        
          cd "$LIBRARY_DIR"
          cp $SYSTEMROOT/SysWOW64/vcruntime140.dll .
          gendef vcruntime140.dll
          dlltool -d vcruntime140.def -l libmsvcr140.a -D vcruntime140.dll
          cd -
        
        Download MS MPI runtime and SDK, then install MPI::
        
          WEB_ADDRESS=https://github.com/microsoft/Microsoft-MPI/releases/download/v10.1.1
          curl -L $WEB_ADDRESS/msmpisetup.exe -o msmpisetup.exe
          curl -L $WEB_ADDRESS/msmpisdk.msi -o msmpisdk.msi
          ./msmpisetup.exe
          msiexec //i msmpisdk.msi
        
        **At this point, close and reopen your terminal to refresh all environment variables!**
        
        In Administrator git-bash, generate mpi.mod for gfortran according to https://abhilashreddy.com/writing/3/mpi_instructions.html::
        
          cd "$MSMPI_INC"
          sed -i 's/mpifptr.h/x64\/mpifptr.h/g' mpi.f90
          sed -i 's/mpifptr.h/x64\/mpifptr.h/g' mpif.h
          gfortran -c -D_WIN64 -D INT_PTR_KIND\(\)=8 -fno-range-check mpi.f90
          cd -
        
        Generate static libmsmpi.a from msmpi.dll::
        
          cd "$MSMPI_LIB64"
          cp $SYSTEMROOT/SysWOW64/msmpi.dll .
          gendef msmpi.dll
          dlltool -d msmpi.def -l libmsmpi.a -D msmpi.dll
          cd -
        
        Before installing Pyccel and using it, the Anaconda environment should be activated with::
        
          source /c/tools/Anaconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh
          conda activate
        
        On Windows and/or Anaconda Python, use `pip` instead of `pip3` for the Installation of pyccel below.
        
        Installation
        ============
        
        From PyPi
        *********
        
        Simply run, for a user-specific installation::
        
          pip3 install --user pyccel
        
        or::
        
          sudo pip3 install pyccel
        
        for a system-wide installation.
        
        From sources
        ************
        
        * **Standard mode**::
        
            git clone git@github.com:pyccel/pyccel.git
            cd pyccel
            pip3 install --user .
        
        * **Development mode**::
        
            git clone git@github.com:pyccel/pyccel.git
            cd pyccel
            pip3 install --user -e .
        
        this will install a *python* library **pyccel** and a *binary* called **pyccel**.
        Any required Python packages will be installed automatically from PyPI.
        
        
        Additional packages
        ===================
        
        In order to run the unit tests and to get a coverage report, three additional Python packages should be installed:::
        
          pip3 install --user mpi4py
          pip3 install --user pytest
          pip3 install --user coverage
        
        
        Reading the docs
        ================
        
        You can read them online at <http://pyccel.readthedocs.io/>.
        
        Alternatively, the documentation can be built automatically using Sphinx.
        First you will need to install a few additional Python packages::
        
           pip3 install --user sphinx
           pip3 install --user sphinxcontrib.bibtex
           pip3 install --user git+git://github.com/saidctb/sphinx-execute-code
        
        Then build the documentation with::
        
           cd doc
           make html
        
        Then, direct your browser to ``_build/html/index.html``.
        
        Testing
        =======
        
        To test your Pyccel installation please run the script *tests/run_tests_py3.sh* (Unix), or *tests/run_tests.bat* (Windows).
        
        Continuous testing runs on Travis CI: <https://travis-ci.com/github/pyccel/pyccel>
