sz_tools is a collection of codes that are useful for studies of SZ-effect data e.g. from Planck, as well as general studies of galaxy clusters. Among its features are SED computation, pressure profile computation and projection, ILC algorithems, statistical tools and wrappers commonly used astropy functions. sz_tools is fully implemented in python 3.

Online documentation is available at sz-tools.readthedocs.io.
