What it is and what it does
mplhep_data is a data package that bundles fonts and related assets for the mplhep scientific plotting library. It contains four open-licensed typefaces—Tex Gyre Heros, Tex Gyre Termes, Fira Sans, and Fira Math—packaged for convenient distribution rather than requiring users to download them separately from multiple sources.
The package has no runtime dependencies and installs as a lightweight wheel. It is maintained as part of the Scikit-HEP project and supports Python 3.10 through 3.14. Its primary role is to ensure that mplhep users have consistent, redistributable fonts available without manual setup.
Use it for
- Installing fonts needed by mplhep for high-energy physics plotting and visualization.
- Ensuring consistent typography across scientific plots in Jupyter notebooks or batch analysis pipelines.
- Bundling with mplhep in environments where downloading fonts from external sources is inconvenient or restricted.
- Providing Fira Math and Tex Gyre typefaces to Python plotting workflows that require specific font families.

dill extends Python's pickle module to serialize and deserialize a much wider range of Python objects, including functions, lambdas, classes, and interpreter sessions, to byte streams for storage or network transmission.
Multiprocess is an enhanced fork of Python's standard multiprocessing library that uses dill for better serialization, allowing you to spawn processes with a threading-like API and share complex objects between them.
Install it if you use multiprocessing and encounter pickle serialization limits with lambdas or complex objects.
