**PyChem** is a wrapper around the chemistry part of ``GEAR`` the galactic evolution
code of the Lastro/EPFL group described :download:`here <../pdf/revaz2012.pdf>`. It provides an additional set of tools, usefull to
generate chemistry tables and to compute and display physical quantities related to the chemistry.
The basic chemistry model used in ``GEAR`` is described in the :download:`Sebastien Poirier Thesis <../pdf/ThesePoirier.pdf>`.
