The XRTpy Python package is a specialized tool developed for the analysis of observations made by the X-Ray Telescope (XRT) (Golub et al., 2007) aboard the Hinode spacecraft (Kosugi et al., 2007).Hinode is a joint mission involving space agencies from Japan, the United States, and Europe, launched with the primary aim of providing multi-wavelength data from the photosphere to the upper corona, enabling continuous observations of the Sun.Within this mission, the XRT instrument stands out as a remarkable piece of technology, capable of capturing high-resolution images of the solar corona's hottest material, diagnosing coronal temperatures from less than 1 MK to more than 10 MK.
