pide is a Python3 library for calculating geophysical parameters (e.g., electrical conductivity, seismic velocity), employing the results from experimental petrology, mineral/rock physics, and thermomechanical modelling studies. pide can calculate the theoretical electrical conductivity of any earth material that exists in the literature. pide can also calculate seismic velocity utilising the external 'sister' library santex. Using these theoretical calculations, users can utilise inversion modules to decode geophysical anomalies compositionally or convert thermomechanical models into geophysical observables. With a given spatial mapping of earth materials, which can preferentially be loaded from a thermomechanical model, pide can be used to build synthetic electrical conductivity and seismic velocity models and generate gravity and magnetic anomalies. Moreover, it is built as a modular tool, so users can easily build their functions.

To install pide, the user can simply go their terminal and type the following command:

> pip install pide

or alternatively, they can clone the repository, then go to the directory of the source with cd and perform:

> pip install .

If you want to help develop and change code as it is being used:

> pip install -e .

How to use pide can be learned through Jupyter notebooks provided in examples/notebooks directory. The general workflow can be tracked through the chart below:

Information on all methods (input/output, examples) can be accesed through the pide object method as follows:

pide_object = pide.pide()

pide_object.list_methods()
pide_object.get_method_manual(method_name)
