the complementary extended SAS (eSAS; @esascook) packages, which allow us to provide simple Python interfaces to the
complex, multi-step, processes that are required to prepare raw _XMM_ data for scientific use. The analogous

X-ray data analyses, and is used by both SAS and eSASS.

Another related software package is the other module in our open-source X-ray astronomy ecosystem, X-ray: Generate
and Analyse ([Xga]{.smallcaps}; @xga). It has none of the same features as [Daxa]{.smallcaps}, as it exists to
analyse large sets of X-ray data, we created [Daxa]{.smallcaps} to create and manage the kind of dataset required for
[Xga]{.smallcaps} to attain maximum usefulness.

[Daxa]{.smallcaps} is much greater than the sum of its parts, but would not have been possible without the existing

software we have mentioned.
