ObsPy is an open-source project dedicated to provide a **Python framework for processing seismological** data. It provides parsers for common file formats, clients to access data centers and seismological signal processing routines which allow the manipulation of seismological time series (see [Beyreuther et al. 2010](http://www.seismosoc.org/publications/SRL/SRL_81/srl_81-3_es/), [Megies et al. 2011](http://www.annalsofgeophysics.eu/index.php/annals/article/view/4838), [Krischer et al. 2015](http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1749-4699/8/1/014003)).

The goal of the ObsPy project is to facilitate **rapid application development for seismology**.

A one-hour introduction to ObsPy is [available at YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFwdjfiK4gk).

### Installation

Installation instructions can be found in the [wiki](https://github.com/obspy/obspy/wiki#installation).

### Getting started

Read about how to get started in the [wiki](https://github.com/obspy/obspy/wiki#getting-started) and in our [**Tutorial** section in the documentation](http://docs.obspy.org/tutorial/).

ObsPy Tutorial notebooks -- and much more on specific seismology topics -- can also be found on [**Seismo-Live**](http://seismo-live.org/), both as a static preview and as interactively runnable version.

```python
from obspy import read
st = read()  # load example seismogram
st.filter(type='highpass', freq=3.0)
st = st.select(component='Z')
st.plot()
```
