Unmodelled searches and reconstruction is a critical aspect of gravitational wave data analysis, requiring sophisticated software tools for robust data analysis. This paper introduces PycWB, a user-friendly and modular Python-based framework developed to enhance such analyses based on the widely used unmodelled search and reconstruction algorithm Coherent Wave Burst (cWB). The main features include a transition from C++ scripts to YAML format for user-defined parameters, improved modularity, and a shift from complex class-encapsulated algorithms to compartmentalized modules. The pycWB architecture facilitates efficient dependency management, better error-checking, and the use of parallel computation for performance enhancement. Moreover, the use of Python harnesses its rich library of packages, facilitating post-production analysis and visualization. The PycWB framework is designed to improve the user experience and accelerate the development of unmodelled gravitational wave analysis.
