=========

:mod:`pytential` helps you accurately evaluate layer
potentials (and, sooner or later, volume potentials).
It also knows how to set up meshes and solve integral
equations.

It relies on

* `numpy <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/numpy>`_ for arrays
* `boxtree <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/boxtree>`_ for FMM tree building
* `sumpy <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/sumpy>`_ for expansions and analytical routines
* `modepy <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/modepy>`_ for modes and nodes on simplices
* `loopy <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/loopy>`_ for fast array operations
* `pytest <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pytest>`_ for automated testing

and, indirectly, 

* `PyOpenCL <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyopencl>`_ as computational infrastructure

PyOpenCL is likely the only one you'll have to install
by hand, all the other ones will automatically be installed.
