Re: [ESPResSo-users] what is the development status of the python interface?

[Peter Košovan]

Hi Rudolf,

thanks for your response. In this case, at least for now I stick to the tcl interface.

However, I thought it should not be a problem to call the commands that are not available from pytho using:
es._espressoHandle.Tcl_Eval("thermostat langevin 1. 1.")

However, this call produces the error that I mention in the previous mail.

Regards,

peter

P.S.: if we meet at the Espresso workshop, it would be great if we could discuss the python stuff.

The interface is still in development.

The following is already there:
* Access to nearly all particle properties
* Non-bonded Lennard-Jones
* Nearly all bonded potentials
* Several electrostatics and magnetostatics methods
* LB (partial)
* Electrokinetcs (partial)

Important missing pieces are (among others):
* Cnstraints
* Observables and correlators
Also, a lot of tidying and documenting is still needed.


I'm currently preparing my first production simulation using Python.
At this stage, I'd not recommend this for people not actively participating in
the development of the interface, though.

Regards, Rudolf
