Project status

--------------

chemlab is not being maintained anymore, if you would like to adopt chemlab, send an email @gabrielelanaro!

Description

-----------

chemlab is a python library and a set of utilities built to ease the

life of the computational chemist. It takes inspiration from other

python scientific library such as numpy, scipy and matplotlib, and aims

to bring a consistent and simple API by following the python

guidelines.

Computational and theoretical chemistry is a huge field, and providing

a program that encompasses all aspect of it is an impossible task. The

spirit of chemlab is to provide a common ground from where you can

build specific programs. For this reason it includes an easily

extendable molecular viewer and flexible field-independent data

structures.

chemlab is looking for contributors, it includes a good documentation

and has an easy structure to get in. Feel free to send me anything that

you may do with chemlab, from supporting a new file format to writing

a new graphic renderer, even if you don'think it's perfect. Send me an

email or write an issue on the github page.

Installation

------------

TIP: more updated instructions are located in the docs:
