A modularity based tool for screening a set of partitions.
The CHAMP python package provides two levels of functionality:
- Identifying the subset of partitions from a group of partitions (regardless of how they were discovered) with optimal modularity. See Running.
- Parallelized implementation of modularity based community detection method, louvain with efficient filtering (ala CHAMP), management, and storage of the generated partitions. See Louvain Parallel Extension .

The CHAMP module is hosted on PyPi. The easiest way to install is via the pip command:
pip install champ
For installation from source, the latest version of champ can be downloaded from GitHub:
https://github.com/wweir827/CHAMP
For basic installation:
python setup.py installMost of the dependencies for CHAMP are fairly standard tools for data analysis in Python, with the exception of louvain_igraph. They include :
- NumPy : Python numerical analysis library.
- sklearn :Machine learning tools for python.
- python-igraph :igraph python version for manipulation of networks.
- matplotlib :Python data visualization library.
- louvain :Vincent Traag's implementation of louvain algorithm.
- h5py : HDF5 file format library for python.
These should all be handled automatically if using pip to install.
