[Mesa-users] Generate MESA-like output

[Pablo Marchant]

I have my own python script to read mesa files which includes an option to
write down as ascii. Mostly I use this to produce MESA look-alike output
that has removed columns in order to minimize storage.

You can check at the save_as_ascii function here:
https://github.com/orlox/mkipp/blob/master/mesa_data.py

that might serve as a guide for what you're trying to do.

Cheers
