Most users will find the Python interface to metatensor to be the most convenient to use. This interface is built on top of the C API, and can be installed independently. The functions and classes provided in metatensor can be grouped as follows:

• TensorMap
• TensorBlock
• Labels
• Serialization
• Data arrays
• Miscellaneous

The Python interface also provides multiple operations, including mathematical, logical, and other utility functions that can applied on these core objects. These are part of a separate python package (metatensor-operations, installed by default when installing metatensor); and documented in the corresponding section.
