It's likely that in the future we'll need a subpackage that contains input/output (I/O) functionality for open data formats commonly used in plasma science. This possible amendment to PLEP 7 would define
plasmapy.io
, which would be akin toastropy.io
andsunpy.io
. This would be the place to put the functionality for reading in and outputting files in the OpenPMD format, for example, which are currently inplasmapy.plasma
.
