### Build instructions

**Simplified build using make** 
```bash
make #build c extension inplace
```

**Manual build**
```bash

#build in place and use from the same folder
#sometimes necessary to remove build folder and .so
#by hand
python setup.py build_ext --inplace


```

To use make sure that the .so and potentially python files are in PYTHONPATH (or installed in developer mode)

```bash
#conda
conda develop install . 

#or with pip
pip install --editable .
```
