library1.3.0pypypi✓ verified 84d ago

PADDLE (Python Atmospheric Dynamics: Discovery and Learning about Exoplanets) is an open-source, user-friendly Python frontend of the canoe general circulation model (GCM) for exoplanet atmospheres. Current version is 1.3.0, released in January 2025. The project is actively maintained on GitHub, with frequent releases adding new features such as two-stream radiative transfer, cubed-sphere remapping, and opacity implementations.

✓ import paddle

Top-level module

✓ from paddle import atmosphere

Access atmospheric models

paddle.radiative_transfer

✓ from paddle import radiative_transfer

✗ import radiative_transfer

Radiative transfer submodule is nested under paddle

Import paddle and create an Earth atmosphere object. Running a simulation requires the canoe engine to be installed separately.

import paddle from paddle import atmosphere # Initialize a simple Earth-like atmosphere atm = atmosphere.EarthAtmosphere() print(atm) # Run a basic simulation (requires canoe installed) # result = atm.run(duration_days=10) # print(result)

paddle --version

Debug

Known issues

breakingVersion 1.3.0 requires snapy2 >= 2.1.4. Older versions of snapy2 are incompatible and will cause import errors.

fix

Upgrade snapy2 with 'pip install snapy2>=2.1.4' before installing or upgrading paddle.

affects: <1.3.0

gotchaThe package name 'paddle' conflicts with the popular PaddlePaddle deep learning framework. Importing both in the same environment may cause namespace collisions.

fix

Use virtual environments and avoid installing both packages simultaneously. If necessary, alias the import: import paddle as paddle_exo

affects: all

deprecatedThe old two-stream radiative transfer implementation from v1.2.x is deprecated in favor of the new two-stream RT subroutines added in v1.2.14. The old API may be removed in a future release.

fix

Migrate to the new radiative_transfer.two_stream module. See documentation for new function signatures.

affects: >=1.2.14

breakingStarting from v1.3.0, the internal module 'paddle.internals' has been removed. Any code relying on it will break.

fix

Replace internal imports with public APIs. If you need low-level access, use 'canoe' directly.

affects: >=1.3.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'canoe'

The canoe GCM engine is a required dependency but not automatically installed by pip.

fix

Install canoe separately: 'pip install canoe' (or follow the canoe installation instructions at https://github.com/elijah-mullens/canoe)

ImportError: cannot import name 'EarthAtmosphere' from 'paddle'

The class name might be different or the API changed in recent versions.

fix

Check the documentation for the correct class name. As of v1.3.0, use 'from paddle.atmosphere import EarthAtmosphere' if that is the correct class; otherwise use 'paddle.atmosphere.Earth()' depending on version.

AttributeError: module 'paddle' has no attribute 'radiative_transfer'

This error typically occurs when using an older version (<1.2.14) that didn't have the radiative_transfer module.

fix

Upgrade paddle to >=1.2.14 via 'pip install --upgrade paddle'.
