Welcome to NapyTau

About

NapyTau is a Python project, made as a successor to the Napatau tool. It's primary purpose is to calculate Tau, also known as the lifetime. NapyTau primarily aims at modernizing the user experience of the original Napatau tool, by providing a more user-friendly interface and a more modern look. Furthermore, NapyTau provides a command line interface, allowing its usage in automated scripts.

Tech Stack

The NapyTau source is written entirely in Python, with the GUI being built using the tkinter library. Specifically, the customtk component library is used to provide a more modern look to the GUI. To facilitate efficient calculations, the ubiquitous numpy and scipy libraries are used.

The project also provides pre-built binaries for Windows and Linux, which are built using Nuitka.

Finally, this documentation is built using mkdocs and mkdocs-material.
