# `BandUP/BandUPpy`: Band Unfolding code for Plane-wave based first-principles calculations             

__Note:__ This is a Python version to the [BandUP](https://github.com/band-unfolding/bandup) code (not to be confused with bandupy - the interface and plotting tool of BandUP), made in order to restore
support for modern versions of QuantumEspresso and other codes. In order ot read the wavefunctions
stored by ab-initio codes, the routines of [irrep](https://github.com/stepan-tsirkin/irrep) are used.

##  Plane-wave codes currently supported by `BandUPpy`

At the moment, `BandUPpy` can parse wavefunctions generated by: 

  * [VASP](http://www.vasp.at)
  * [Quantum ESPRESSO](http://www.quantum-espresso.org)
  * [ABINIT](http://www.abinit.org)
  * any code that has interface to [Wannier90](http://wannier.org) (via reading the UNK* and *.eig files)
  * [CASTEP](http://www.castep.org)  --> __Not supported yet. Use the main code of BandUP.__
