openmc.lib – Python bindings to the C/C++ API

This module provides bindings to C/C++ functions defined by OpenMC shared library. When the openmc.lib package is imported, the OpenMC shared library is automatically loaded. Calls to the OpenMC library can then be via functions or objects in openmc.lib, for example:

openmc.lib.init()
openmc.lib.run()
openmc.lib.finalize()
