3.1.4. horton.context – The context in which HORTON is used

This module controls global parameters that are purely technical, e.g. the location of data files. It is certainly not meant to keep track of input parameters for a computation.

This module contains a context object, an instance of the Context class. For now, its functionality is rather limited. It tries to figure out the location of the data directory. If it is not specified in the environment variable HORTONDATA, it is assumed that the data is located in a directory called data. If the data directory does not exist, an error is raised.
