The magnetotelluric (MT) method is increasingly being applied to a wide variety of geoscience
problems. However, the software available for MT data analysis and interpretation
is still very limited in comparison to many of the more mature geophysical methods such
as the gravity, magnetic or seismic reflection methods. MTPy is an open source Python package to assist with MT data processing, analysis, modelling, visualization and interpretation. It was initiated at the University of Adelaide in 2013 as a means to store and share Python code amongst the MT community (Krieger & Peacock, 2014). Here we provide an overview of the software and describe recent developments to MTPy. These include new functionality and a clean up and standardization
of the source code, as well as the addition of an integrated testing suite, documentation,
and examples in order to facilitate the use of MT in the wider geophysics community.
