Example

It works by utilizing ObsPy’s read_events() function.

>>> import obspy
>>> cat = obspy.read_events("/path/to/CMTSOLUTION")
>>> print(cat)
1 Event(s) in Catalog:
2003-12-26T01:56:58.130000Z | +29.100,  +58.240 | 6.54 mw

The event will contain a couple of origins and magnitudes.

>>> print(cat[0])  
Event:     2003-12-26T01:56:58.130000Z | +29.100,  +58.240 | 6.54 mw

                         origins: 2 Elements
                      magnitudes: 3 Elements

This module also offers write support for the CMTSOLUTION format.

>>> cat.write("output/CMTSOLUTION")
