Welcome to PyCBC, a python toolkit for analysis of data from gravitational-wave
laser interferometer detectors with the goal of detecting and studying signals
from compact binary coalescences (CBCs).
The PyCBC home page is located on github at
* https://ligo-cbc.github.io/
Documentation is automatically built nightly and available from
* http://ligo-cbc.github.io/pycbc/latest/html/
To download and install PyCBC follow the instructions at
* http://ligo-cbc.github.io/pycbc/latest/html/install.html
You can start up an interactive jupyter notebook with PyCBC using either of the links below.

If you use any code from PyCBC in a scientific publication, then we ask that
it is cited in the following way:
```
These results were generated using the PyCBC software package
\cite{Canton:2014ena,Usman:2015kfa,pycbc-software}
```
For the citation ``pycbc-software``, please use a bibtex entry and DOI for the
appropriate release of the PyCBC software (or the latest available release).
A bibtex key and DOI for each release is avaliable from [Zenodo](http://zenodo.org/).
