Brief abstract

lenstronomy is a multi-purpose software package to model strong gravitational lenses. lenstronomy finds application for time-delay cosmography and measuring the expansion rate of the Universe, for quantifying lensing substructure to infer dark matter properties, morphological quantification of galaxies, quasar-host galaxy decomposition and much more. lenstronomy is an Astropy-affiliated package and has recently moved to a project repository. I will describe use cases that go beyond gravitational lensing, outline the design principles and highlight future developments/
