# The PyIlmBase Libraries
The PyIlmBase libraries provides python bindings for the IlmBase
libraries:
* **PyIex** - bindings for Iex
* **PyImath** - bindings for Imath
* **PyImathNumpy** - bindings that convert between numpy and Imath arrays
In addition, the distribution also includes confidence tests:
* **PyIexTest**
* **PyImathTest**
* **PyImathNumpyTest**
## Dependencies
PyIlmBase requires **numpy** to be available to the builder. Install with
your favorite package manager or use a Python virtualenv:
virtualenv numpy
source numpy/bin/activate
pip install numpy
