EndfParserFactory

class endf_parserpy.EndfParserFactory[source]

Bases: object

Factory class to create ENDF parsers.

This class provides the create() method for creating an ENDF parser object.

Create an ENDF parser instance.

This function creates an ENDF parser object, which is either an instance of the EndfParserPy (Python parser) or EndfParserCpp (C++ parser) class depending on the supplied arguments. The three parameters described below control the behavior of the parser factory. All other parameters are arguments to the constructor of the EndfParserPy or EndfParserCpp class and most of them are available for both classes.

Parameters:

  • select (string) – Can be fastest, cpp, or python. If fastest, selects the C++ parser if possible and falls back on the Python parser otherwise. If cpp or python, selects C++ or Python parser, respectively, and fails if requested parser type cannot be selected.

  • warn_slow (bool) – If True, issues a UserWarning if user requested fastest parser but C++ parser is not available or incompatible with parser arguments.

  • require_compat (bool) – If True, only instantiate parser class if parser arguments are compatible with both Python and C++ parser and raise a ValueError exception otherwise.
