Abstract
For over a decade, the SpacePy project has contributed open-source solutions for the production and analysis of heliophysics data and simulation results. Here we introduce SpacePy's functionality for the scientific user and present relevant design principles. We examine recent advances and the future of SpacePy in the broader scientific Python ecosystem, concluding with some of the work that has used SpacePy.
