Abstract
Python programming language has experienced a great progress and growing use in the scientific community in the last
years as well as a direct impact on solar physics. Python is a very mature language and almost any fundamental feature you
might want to do is already implemented in a library or module. SunPy is a common effort of, using the advantages of Python,
developing tools to be applied for processing and analysis of solar data. In this work we present a particular development,
based on Python, for the analysis of proper motions in time series of images through the local correlation tracking algorithm.
A graphic user interface allows to select different parameters for the computations, visualization and analysis of flow fields.
