[Mesa-users] mistery: query MIST's web interpolators in Python

[Warrick Ball]

Hi everyone,

I'm pleased to announce the first publicised version of "mistery", a small open-source Python package that queries the MIST web interpolators.

     https://warrickball.gitlab.io/mistery/

mistery was born from my want to make it easy for students (particulary undergraduates) to quickly get realistic stellar evolution to experiment with.  It offers only four functions, to retrieve a single track, a set of tracks with different masses, a single isochrone or a set of isochrones with different ages.

It is *not* intended as a tool for scientific analysis, but if you need Gaia photometry of a 2.2 Msun track at low metallicity and with a little reddening, you'll find it in

     track = mistery.get_track(M=2.2, FeH=-1.0, Av=0.1, photometry='UBVRIplus')

Any feedback is welcome!

Cheers,
Warrick
