miepython is a pure Python module to calculate light scattering for non-absorbing, partially-absorbing, or perfectly-conducting spheres. Mie theory is used, following the procedure described by Wiscombe. This code has been validated against his results. This code provides functions for calculating the extinction efficiency, scattering efficiency, backscattering, and scattering asymmetry. Moreover, a set of angles can be given to calculate the scattering for a sphere at each of those angles.

OpenMie aims to solve electromagnetic scattering problems via the Mie method to provide a benchmark against which to test more general scattering codes. Complete field solutions are given for a number of practical geometries.
