aseqe 0.3.4

ase-espresso provides a Python interface compatible with Atomic Simulation Environment (ASE) for managing calculations with the Quantum Espresso code.

This is a fork from vossjo that offers a lot of improvements over the original version, the most important ones include:

• the files were restructured into a python package

• a setup.py file was introduced to allow installation through pip or setuptools

• configuration for the documentation is provided through sphinx and a lot of docstrings were updated

• the site.cfg is obsolete now, and no additional configuration is required, the functionality is replaced by a new SiteConfig class that dynamically gathers information about the execution environment

• the old espresso class is now split into two: Espresso preserving the standard functionality and iEspresso responsible for dynamic/interactive jobs with a custom version of pw.x

• changes were made to establish python 3.x compatibility

• the Espresso class were restructured according to ase guidelines regarding calculator objects to support full compatibility with ase

• most of the system calls are now handled by pexpect and subprocess instead of the os.system, os.popen(), os.popen2(), os.popen3()

• tests were added

• code style and readability were improved
