+This project provides useful Python tools for executing TraceWin, and reading/writing TraceWin data files.
+
+The files are written primarily for usage at European Spallation Source, but might be useful elsewhere.
+
+You are free to use this code, but no warranty whatsoever is given.
+
+Installation
+------------
+

+
+```bash
+git clone https://gitlab01.esss.lu.se/ess-bp/ess-python-tools.git
+cd ess-python-tools
+python setup.py install --user
