The GSD main module.

import gsd.fl

import gsd.hoomd
gsd.__version__#

GSD software version number. This is the version number of the software package as a whole, not the file layer version it reads/writes.

Logging#

All Python modules in GSD use the Python standard library module logging to log events. Use this module to control the verbosity and output destination:

import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
