Make PyROOT more pythonic

ROOT’s Python bindings, called PyROOT, allow to access all the ROOT C++ functionality from Python.

In order to make it easier to use ROOT from Python, or to use a more pythonic syntax, PyROOT provides many pythonizations for ROOT classes. A pythonization is a piece of code that injects some new behaviour in a ROOT class, e.g. to add new methods, to make the class iterable from Python or to override arithmetic operators. Pythonizations can be implemented in Python or in C++ (via the Python C/API).

Here you can find the code for the current ROOT pythonizations. For example, this pythonization is adding Python item access methods to TSeqCollection, more precisely by defining a pythonizor function, decorated with @pythonization, which injects the new methods in the class.

If you have an idea for a new pythonization that you think would be useful and need some guidance to write it, please let us know!

Expected Results

Addition of new pythonizations: code that injects new behaviour in ROOT classes when used from Python via PyROOT.

Requirements

Good Python knowledge. Familiarity with the Python/C API is necessary if the pythonization is to be implemented in C++.
