Abstract
Weak gravitational lensing is a widely used probe in cosmological analysis. It allows astrophysists to understand the content and evolution of the Universe. We are entering an era where we are not limited by the data volume but by systematic uncertainties. It is in this context that we present here a simple python-based software package to help in the computation of E-/B-mode decomposition, which can be use for systematic checks or science analysis. As we demonstrate, our implementation has both the high precision and speed required to perform this kind of analysis while avoiding a scenario wherein either numerical precision or computational time is a significant limiting factor.
