@editorialbot query scope

@Suryateja-Ravutla – thanks for your submission to JOSS. As this is on the smaller side of what we typically publish in JOSS I'm going to flag this for a scope review by the wider editorial team. This will likely take a week or so.

[editorialbot]

Submission flagged for editorial review.

[danielskatz]

👋 @Suryateja-Ravutla - I'm sorry to say that after discussion amongst the JOSS editors, we have decided that this submission is not currently ready for review by JOSS. Please see https://joss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/submitting.html#other-venues-for-reviewing-and-publishing-software-packages for other suggestions for how you might receive credit for your work.

The issues are the amount of substantial scholarly effort (which is borderline), and the lack of 1. packaging, 2. documentation, and 3. tests. The editors do think this is useful software, and would be pleased to see a resubmitted package that addresses the three issues above.
