I am pleased to announce the release of ChiantiPy version
0.3, a Python interface to the CHIANTI atomic database for
astrophysical spectroscopy. The main new features of this
release are the inclusion of the mspectrum class that make

addition, there are numerous bug fixes.

Photo-excitation as a population process is added. Also, the two-photon continuum as well as a few bug-fixes
