Welcome to pyslice - dataset template engine's documentation!
=============================================================
pyslice is a specialized templating system that replaces variables in
a template data set with numbers taken from all combinations of a grouped
series of numbers. It creates a dataset from input template files for each
combination of variables in the series.

The main function of pyslice is to provide utility functions for parametric
modeling. Parametric modeling is a process of varying many inputs to a model.
A drawback to parametric modeling is that there are usually hundreds to
thousands of data sets to prepare and a corresponding number of model runs.
pyslice will create the model data sets and manage the model runs, or place the
model runs in a queue managed by other software. pyslice is also useful in
establishing the sensitivity of a model to changing parameters.
