        Provides simple interface for interacting with stellar model grids.
        
        Installation
        -----------
        
        Install with ``pip install isochrones`` or by cloning the repository
        and running ``python setup.py install``.
        
        Depends on normal scientific libraries (e.g. ``numpy``, ``pandas``, etc.),
        as can easily be installed trouble-free via, e.g., the anaconda python distribution.
        
        For usage details, `read the documentation <http://isochrones.rtfd.org>`_ or
        check out the `demo notebook <http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/timothydmorton/isochrones/blob/master/notebooks/demo.ipynb>`_.
        
        Stellar fits will want to use ``MultiNest``/``pymultinest`` if those packages are installed (recommended); otherwise the fits will default to MCMC fitting using ``emcee``.
        
        Basic Usage
        ------------
        
        For simplest out-of-the-box usage after installation, make a file called ``star.ini`` that
        looks something like this::
        
            Teff = 5770, 100
            feh = 0.0, 0.15
            logg = 4.5, 0.1
            V = 10.0, 0.05
        
        Any combination of spectroscopic or [supported] photometric properties, as well
        as parallax, can go as properties into this file.
        
        Once you've made this file, type ``starfit`` at the command line.  Or if you want to be organized,
        you can put ``star.ini`` in a folder called ``mystar`` [or whatever]
        and run ``starfit mystar`` from the command line.  The ``starfit`` script
        will create an HDF5 file containing the saved ``StarModel``, which you
        can load from python using ``StarModel.load_hdf``, as well as triangle
        plots illustrating the fit.
