Coma is the computational condensed matter physics programming toolkit. It is a small Python library aiding with some aspects of conducting "numerical experiments"---running computer simulations. Coma helps with storing and managing data from numerical simulations and additionally includes a simple job runner (with parallelization support), a flexible mechanism to extract data from data files, and object serialization. This is the second iteration of the library (version 2.x.x) which is different from and incompatible with version 1.
For a more detailed explanation of what Coma is, the features it provides and what a typical workflow with Coma looks like, have a look at the documentation (Notebook viewer, pdf).
Coma requires Python 2.7. Older or newer versions won't work. To install the
Python module, go to the Coma source directory and run the setup.py file.
$ ./setup.py install
Or to install it into your home directory:
$ ./setup.py install --user
