The OpenPIV python version is currently in alpha state. This means that it is buggy, untested and the API may change. However testing and contributing is very welcome, especially if you can contribute with new algorithms and features.
Development is currently done on a Linux/Mac OSX environment, but as soon as possible Windows will be tested. If you have access to one of these platforms please test the code.
OpenPIV consists in a python module for scripting and executing the analysis of a set of PIV image pairs. In addition, a Qt graphical user interface is in development, to ease the use for those users who don't have python skills.
Installation instructions for various platforms can be found at http://alexlib.github.com/openpiv-python
Basically we use distutils:
>>> python setup.py buildshould work
