1. Set up pyROOT:

• use a CMSSW area: cd /somewhere/CMSSW_4_2_8/src && cmsenv

2. Clone the repository: git clone git:https://github.com/elaird/supy.git # or, if you have forked it, git clone git:https://github.com/your_username/supy.git cd supy

3. Add the directory containing supy/ to your PYTHONPATH; optionally

PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:`pwd`/.. PATH=$PATH:`pwd`/bin

4. Run the tests and/or example : ./bin/supy-test ./bin/supy examples/one.py --loop 1

5. Write your own configuration.py and analysis.

To be written.

ROOT (>=5.27.06) and python (2.x, x>=6) are required; CMSSW is not required.
These are useful pages for setting up and learning pyROOT: https://root.cern.ch/drupal/content/how-use-use-python-pyroot-interpreter https://wlav.web.cern.ch/wlav/pyroot/

• If afs is mounted on your machine, you could use something like this: https://github.com/elaird/ra1stats/blob/master/env.sh

• TTrees with multiple leaves per branch are not yet supported.

• TTrees with a leaf "weight" will have that weight applied automatically.

• pyROOT does not support leaves whose names collide with the names of TChain member functions

• Creating a Lorentz vector every event is slow. As a workaround, use utils.LorentzV (see calculables.Jet.SumP4 for an example).

• Iterating through a std::map<string, bool> is slow. Consider using a cache (see steps.Trigger.Counts for an example).
