Relation between noisepy and noisepy-io?

[jojomale]

Hi,
Could someone explain to me the structure of the noisepy-package and the relation between the two repositories noisepy and noisepy-io? It seems that the noisepy repo is more active, hosts the documentation and example notebooks. However, the notebooks seem to use the package structure of noisepy-io since they all load from the module noisepy.seis.io, which, to my understanding, is nowhere defined in the noisepy repo. They work when I installed noisepy from PyPI. When I tried to install from the cloned repository, they did not work.
Thanks for your help.

Hi @jojomale sorry just found this discussion.

noisepy-io was previously part of noisepy main package, until we found that several basic IO operations (e.g., reading the stacked correlation, plotting, etc.) don't really need the entire noisepy dependencies. However, in order to use noisepy as a single package, we still need to all dependencies. That's why we decided to make the IO part a separate package: small with very few dependencies. We also expect that people only change the IO part when working on different data, leaving the main package untouched.

noisepy-io is now a dependent of noisepy, which is why it is automatically installed through PyPI. However, since it shares the same name space with noisepy (noisepy.seis), this makes developing a little bit different.

After cloning the noisepy repo, I usually do pip install -e . and manually add the io package into the src/noisepy/seis/ folder. Unfortunately, doing pip install . for two repo, separately, won't work because pip will overwrite the other, makes it no way to merge them into the same folder.

Best,
Yiyu
