brutus

Et tu, Brute?

brutus is a Pure Python package whose core modules involve using "brute force" Bayesian inference to derive distances, reddenings, and stellar properties from photometry.

The package is designed to be highly modular, with current modules including utilities for modelling individual stars, star clusters, and 3-D dust mapping.
