Abstract
We present an easy to use software package fully written in Python designed for light curve modelling of eclipsing close binaries. The software provides full treatment of the Roche geometry and irradiation effects utilizing symmetries of tidally deformed stellar surfaces and eccentric orbits in order to reduce overall computational time. Additionally, the software package allows modelling of spots and low-amplitude radial and non-radial pulsations.
