First steps in Yambopy

The yambopy project aims to develop python tools to:
- Read and edit yambo and quantum espresso input files
- Easily perform pre- and post-processing of the simulation data for these two codes - including hard-to-get, database-encoded data beyond standard outputs
- Provide easy visualization and plotting options
- Set up simple automatization workflows (e.g., convergence tests)
Setup
Make sure that you are using Python 3, and follow the setup instructions for Yambopy. The abipy [[1]] package is optional. You may however want to have it installed for band structure interpolations.
