Though edits had to be made to the fortran code to accomodate f2py compilation, I do not claim any intellectual contributions to said files. Please visit http://iri.gsfc.nasa.gov/ for more details on IRI itself and its principal contributors.
My only contribution was to optimize the fortran code in order to wrap it with f2py, making it useable from Python. In the future, I will add higher level Python wrappers to abstract the calls to fortran routines.
To install the IRI python module, from this repository run:
cd iri
make clean
make
cd ..
sudo python setup.py install
To use this module:
