EinsteinPy - Making Einstein possible in Python¶
EinsteinPy is an open source pure Python package dedicated to problems arising in General Relativity and relativistic physics, such as goedesics plotting for schwartzschild space-time model, calculation of schwartzschild radius for any mass given. Features like visualisation of geodesics of curved black holes and 3D visualisations are some of the features which are planned. It is released under the MIT license.

Key features of EinsteinPy are:
Schwarzschild Geometry Analysis and trajectory calculation
Symbolic Calculation of various tensors in GR
Christoffel Symbols
Riemann Curvature Tensor
Static Geodesic Plotting
Velocity of Coordinate time w.r.t proper time
Easy Calculation of Schwarzschild Radius
Coordinate conversion with unit handling
Spherical/Cartesian Coordinates
Boyer-Lindquist/Cartesian Coordinates
And more to come!
Einsteinpy is developed by an open community. Release announcements and general discussion take place on our mailing list and chat.
The source code, issue tracker and wiki are hosted on GitHub, and all contributions and feedback are more than welcome. You can test EinsteinPy in your browser using binder, a cloud Jupyter notebook server:
EinsteinPy works on recent versions of Python and is released under the MIT license, hence allowing commercial use of the library.
from einsteinpy.plotting import StaticGeodesicPlotter
a = StaticGeodesicPlotter(mass)
a.plot(r,v)
