Detailed Description

Wrapper to TChain, with a python iterable interface.

Example of use:  #TODO make that a doctest / nose?
   from chain import Chain
   the_chain = Chain('../test/test_*.root', 'test_tree')
   event3 = the_chain[2]
   print event3.var1

   for event in the_chain:
       print event.var1

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

def chain.Chain.__init__	(		self,
			input,
			tree_name = None
	)

Create a chain.

Parameters:
  input     = either a list of files or a wildcard (e.g. 'subdir/*.root').
      In the latter case all files matching the pattern will be used
      to build the chain.
  tree_name = key of the tree in each file.
      if None and if each file contains only one TTree,
      this TTree is used.
