 Data analysis
 =============
 
+pharesee
+--------
+
+The data produced by phare is readable with the `pharesee` python package from
+the `pyphare`. Make your `PYTHONPATH` includes the directory where `pyphare` is located.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/path/to/PHARE/pyphare
+
+
+Then import the `pharesee` package should work:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    import pyphare.pharesee as pharesee
+
+
+
+Reading the data
+----------------
+
+We will imagine a situation where you have run a simulation
+for which `ElectromagDianostics` have been activated and you want to get the magnetic field. Assuming the data is in:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    /data/scratch/phare_jobs/run001/
+
+
+The first step to get the data is to create a `Run` object, that basically represents
+your simulation and will let you interact with its data.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from pyphare.pharesee.run import Run
+
+    path = "/data/scratch/phare_jobs/run001/"
+    run = Run(path)
+
+
+Getting data is then done by calling methods of that `run` instance you just created.
+Every data getters takes the same form:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    run.GetXXX(time)
+
+where `XXX` is the name of a physical quantity available from `pharesee`, 
+and `time` is the time at which you want to get the data.
+
+For example, to get the magnetic field at time 0.0:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    B = run.GetB(0.0)

 Python Patch Hierarchy
-======================
+----------------------
+
+Generalities
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The data read from a run most often takes the form of a `PatchHierarchy` instance.
+This python object represents the hierarchy of levels of patches where the data lies.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    B = run.GetB(0.0)  # B is a PatchHierarchy
+
+
+See section :ref:
