A python wrapper around the gromacs tools.

Project description

Build Status Code Coverage Documentation Latest release on zenodo (with DOI)

A primitive wrapper around the Gromacs tools until we have proper python bindings. It also provides a small library (cook book) of often-used recipes and an optional analysis module with plugins for more complicated analysis tasks.

Documentation is mostly provided through the python doc strings and available at http://gromacswrapper.readthedocs.org for recent releases.

The source code is available in the GromacsWrapper git repository.

Please be aware that this is alpha software that most definitely contains bugs. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are running simulations with sensible parameters.

The vmd module is made available under the LGPL v3 (see COPYING and COPYING.LESSER). numkit is provided under the “Modified BSD Licence” (as it contains some code from scipy).
