	Coherent Synchrotron Radiation (CSR) in bending magnets poses an important limit for electron beams to reach high brightness in novel accelerators. While the longitudinal wakefield has been well studied in one-dimensional CSR theory and implemented in various simulation codes, transverse wakefields have received less attention. Following the recently developed two-dimensional CSR theory, we developed a Python code simulating the steady-state two-dimensional CSR effects. The computed CSR wakes have been benchmarked with theory and other simulation codes. To speed up computation speed, the code applies vectorization, parallel processing, and Numba in Python.
