Title: RAPOC: the Rosseland and Planck opacity converter
A user-friendly and fast opacity program for Python

Abstract:
We present a novel code that converts the widely-used wavelength-dependent opacities of gaseous species into Rosseland and Planck mean opacities. RAPOC (Rosseland and Planck Opacity Converter) is a straightforward and efficient code that makes use of ExoMol data as well as any other user-defined data, provided that it is within the correct format. Furthermore, RAPOC has the useful ability of rapidly interpolating between discrete data points, therefore allowing for a complete incorporation within atmospheric models. In this paper we present the RAPOC code and compare its calculated Rosseland and Planck mean opacities with other values within the literature.
