Hello, I am trying to use your library. I installed as you said pip install XSteamPython but when I open my IDE (Spyder) give me that Ñ ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'XSteamPython' I am new in python, btw

Hello @Maryelin-31,

the instructions in the readme file are misleading. I really have to update them!

As a rule to thumb you can find instructions on how to install a package by checking its page on the Python Package Index. At the top of the page you find the command necessary to install the package.

The correct way to install pyXSteam is to run the command pip install pyXSteam in your code you can use from pyXSteam.XSteam import XSteam.

like this:

from pyXSteam.XSteam import XSteam
steamTable = XSteam(XSteam.UNIT_SYSTEM_MKS)
print(steamTable.hL_p(220.0))

Let me know if this worked, I will update the readme accordingly!

YES! it works. I had to install it using the console in Spyder, I don't know why, but it works... Thank you
