 HASHpy
 ------
 
+This fork contains two minor bug fixes that are necessary to get hashpy up and running smoothly in 2021:
+* in hashpy/hashpype.py, change 'class HashError(StandardError):' to 'class HashError(Exception):'
+* in hashpy/__init__.py, add a dot before 'hashpype' and 'doublecouple'
+
+That's it. Thank you Luca Scarabello for figuring this out. Now let's go compute some FMs (\\__/)

 This is a fork of HASH v1.2, the first motion focal mechanism program by Hardebeck and Shearer. The subroutines (in Fortran 77, which I did not write) are compiled into a python module, 'libhashpy.so', which will import all the subs and common blocks into the python namespace. There is a base class, HashPype, that contains attributes which hold data for a HASH calculation, and methods which can be called to do the HASH calculation. This class facilitates easily writing a 'hash driver' script in python. See below for details.
