popy_create
To help you get started with a new script, we provide a tool called popy_create that generates an example of one of the Script File Formats. You do this by opening a Open a PoPy Command Prompt and typing:-
$ popy_create [script_type] my_script.pyml
where [script_type] is one of the script names (“fit”, “gen”, “tut”, and so on.). See Script File Formats for a list of all script types.
Typically, the new script can then be edited using popy_edit to suit current requirements or immediately run using popy_run. See Creating Example Scripts for more information.
