External API #7

Closed ckoerber closed 5 years ago

ckoerber commented 5 years ago

In order to be useful beyond bookkeeping, we should implement an API such that other python programs can use this module.

E.g., assume this module is configured and we have an external script like this

import lattedb

lattedb.init()

prop = lattedb.HisqPropagator.get(...) # query the db

prop.mpi = 135.0 # change in external script

prop.save() # update the db

Also it would be nice to have a remote web view / table where you can choose what you would like to import into, e.g., a local pandas DataFrame.

PR #8 now allows to pip install lattedb and thus make it accessible for external scripts.
