The ROOT data analysis framework is used much in High Energy Physics (HEP) and has its own output format (.root). ROOT can be easily interfaced with software written in C++. For software tools in Python there exists pyROOT. Unfortunately, pyROOT does not work well with python3.4. broot is a small library that converts data in python numpy ndarrays to ROOT files containing trees with a branch for each array. The goal of this library is to provide a generic way of writing python numpy datastructures to ROOT files. The library should be portable and supports both python2, python3, ROOT v5 and ROOT v6 (requiring no modifications on the ROOT part, just the default installation). Installation of the library should only require a user to compile to library once or install it as a python package.
