Description

The PyLHE library (Python LHE interface) has seen major improvements since 2024. Recent releases introduced LHE file writing (v0.9.0) and extended event weight support for POWHEG (v0.8.0). Event weights, when available, are now included in the output Awkward Arrays, and systematic tests are performed using LHE files from widely used general-purpose Monte Carlo event generators. In addition to bug fixes, a new Sphinx-based documentation has been created. These enhancements make PyLHE more powerful, reliable, and user-friendly for high-energy physics workflows.
