# Archived Python Bindings (`pycompact.py`)

!!! warning "Archived/Legacy Component"
    **Historical Note**: Originally, researchers manually wrote post-processing Fortran codes. To reduce this maintenance overhead, python bindings (`pycompact.py`) were introduced as a transitional wrapper. However, since the bindings did not significantly improve ease of use, we subsequently defined a custom DSL (Domain Specific Language) for describing post-processing operations and developed a compiler (`code_gen.py` & `post.py`) to generate highly optimized Fortran codes. As a result, the python bindings are now archived.
