Hi All,
I would like to share a small program I wrote, currently called MetroPSF for the lack of better name, for differential ensemble PSF-fitting photometry. Initially wrote a small script to double-check the results I was getting through Astrometrica for the SN 2021gmj, however, thought it may be useful for public, so releasing the source code. It's a prototype, so the code quality is pretty low, but the results it produces should be ready for analysis. I would appreciate any feedback and suggestions. I thought I'd check if this is of interest to public at all by making a preliminary "alpha" release.
The program files with the READ ME file (PDF) with a brief description and installation instructions:

The installation process may seem a bit strange, but it all boils down to installing Python interpreter which is pretty much automatic process, and using pip to install libraries, which is also automatic. This takes a few minutes on both Windows and Unix-like platforms.
MetroPSF works with VizieR and Astrometry.net for retrieving catalogs and solving, and the READ ME file describes a quick use case to familiarize with the interface. The screen shot of the program in action is below - on NGC 3310 with SN 2021gmj.
