obspy.core.event.base - Classes for handling event metadata

This module provides a class hierarchy to consistently handle event metadata. This class hierarchy is closely modelled after the de-facto standard format QuakeML.

Note

For handling additional information not covered by the QuakeML standard and how to output it to QuakeML see the ObsPy Tutorial.
