            <b>Galactic Dynamics in python</b>
        </p>
        
        [galpy](http://www.galpy.org) is a Python 2 and 3 package for galactic dynamics. It supports orbit integration in a variety of potentials, evaluating and sampling various distribution functions, and the calculation of action-angle coordinates for all static potentials. `galpy` is an [astropy](http://www.astropy.org/) [affiliated package](http://www.astropy.org/affiliated/) and provides full support for astropy’s [Quantity](http://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/api/astropy.units.Quantity.html) framework for variables with units.

        The latest documentation can be found
        [here](http://docs.galpy.org/en/latest/). You can also join the
        [galpy slack community](https://galpy.slack.com/) for any questions
        related to `galpy`; join

        If you find *any* bug in the code, please report these using the [Issue
        Tracker](http://github.com/jobovy/galpy/issues) or by joining the [galpy
        slack community](https://galpy.slack.com/).
        
        If you are having issues with the installation of `galpy`, please first
        consult the [Installation
        FAQ](http://docs.galpy.org/en/latest/installation.html#installation-faq).
        
        PYTHON VERSIONS AND DEPENDENCIES
        ================================
        
        `galpy` supports both Python 2 and 3. Specifically, galpy supports
        Python 2.7 and Python 3.6 and 3.7. It should also work on earlier Python
        3.\* versions, but this is not extensively tested on an ongoing basis.
        Travis CI builds regularly check support for Python 2.7 and 3.7 (and of
        3.6 using a more limited, core set of tests) and Appveyor builds
        regularly check support for Python 3.7 on Windows.
        
        This package requires [Numpy](https://numpy.org/),
        [Scipy](http://www.scipy.org/), and
        [Matplotlib](http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/). Certain advanced
        features require the GNU Scientific Library
        ([GSL](http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/)), with action calculations
        requiring version 1.14 or higher. Use of `SnapshotRZPotential` and
        `InterpSnapshotRZPotential` requires
        [pynbody](https://github.com/pynbody/pynbody). Support for providing
        inputs and getting outputs as Quantities with units is provided through
        [astropy](http://www.astropy.org/).
        
        CONTRIBUTING TO GALPY
        =====================
        
        If you are interested in contributing to galpy\'s development, take a
        look at [this brief
        guide](https://github.com/jobovy/galpy/wiki/Guide-for-new-contributors)
        on the wiki. This will hopefully help you get started!
        
        Some further development notes can be found on the
        [wiki](http://github.com/jobovy/galpy/wiki/). This includes a list of
        small and larger extensions of galpy that would be useful
        [here](http://github.com/jobovy/galpy/wiki/Possible-galpy-extensions) as
        well as a longer-term roadmap
        [here](http://github.com/jobovy/galpy/wiki/Roadmap). Please let the main
        developer know if you need any help contributing!
        
        DISK DF CORRECTIONS
        ===================
        
        The dehnendf and shudf disk distribution functions can be corrected to
        follow the desired surface-mass density and radial-velocity-dispersion
        profiles more closely (see
        [1999AJ\....118.1201D](http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1999AJ....118.1201D)).
        Calculating these corrections is expensive, and a large set of
        precalculated corrections can be found
        [here](http://github.com/downloads/jobovy/galpy/galpy-dfcorrections.tar.gz)
        \[tar.gz archive\]. Install these by downloading them and unpacking them
        into the galpy/df/data directory before running the setup.py
        installation. E.g.:
        
            curl -O https://github.s3.amazonaws.com/downloads/jobovy/galpy/galpy-dfcorrections.tar.gz
            tar xvzf galpy-dfcorrections.tar.gz -C ./galpy/df/data/
