This package contains code used to work around various problems with Root. It may also contain small pieces of Root code of general utility.

This package should have no dependencies other than root/python (and the build system).

Here's a brief list of what's here.

• RootUtils::DataVectorConvert: Provide backwards compatibility for reading DataVector classes for which inheritance relations have changed.
• RootUtils::InitHist: Force initialization of Root's getline command history, to prevent crashes in TTreeViewer when using python as a shell.
• RootUtils::PyROOTConstFix: Work around PyROOT const/non-const method return argument conversion bug.
• RootUtils::PyROOTTTreePatch: Work around performance problems with PyROOT's pythonization of TTree.
• RootUtils::StdHackGenerator: Work around inconsistent use of std:: with Root's autoloading.
• RootUtils.PyROOTFixes (.py): Work around PyROOT bugs that affect DataVector.

Dictionaries are generated for all C++ classes, so they're callable from Python.
