mapflpy is a python package for tracing field lines using the MapFL Fortran tracer developed by Predictive Science Inc.
The goal of mapflpy is to provide fast and accurate tracing capabilities for spherical vector fields inside a convenient Python interface. mapflpy is designed to work natively with the staggered meshes produced by Predictive Science Inc.'s codes for simulating the solar corona, and inner heliosphere (e.g. MAS or POT3D), but it should be generally compatible with any global vector field that can be described on a rectilinear grid in spherical coordinates.
