pySCATMECH: A Python interface to the SCATMECH C++ library of polarized light scattering codes

SCATMECH is a library of object-oriented C++ computer codes originally developed for disseminating models for polarized light scattering from surfaces and aerosols and for diffraction from gratings. The pySCATMECH package has been developed as an interface to the SCATMECH library, simplifying use of the codes and allowing for more rapid development of software for these applications.
