Python scripts for the daily tasks in particle physics

Quick installation recipe:

git clone https://github.com/BristolTopGroup/DailyPythonScripts
cd DailyPythonScripts
# checkout the last working version
git checkout AN-14-071_2nd_draft

# get submodules:

# install CMSSW and setup environment:
cmsenv

# install DailyPythonScripts according to the recipe above, or if done already, setup the vpython environment:
source environment.sh
