Hello, is this package still in development? I am interested in using it for my research involving collisions with Rb Atoms. Thanks!

Hey Gabriel,

No I have not been working on this package for quite some time now. However, about two months ago I wrote a python interface to SRIM called srim-python. It should work on Linux and Windows. You just need to use wine if you are going to run on Linux.

srim-python can run automated SRIM calculations using python. And can easily read all the output files. See the examples/ ipython notebook.

I have plans to write a srim implementation is python however there is one missing step. I need a good way to represent the electronic stopping power. Currently I am looking at Machine learning using a rbf for fitting the Helmut database.
