chemfp.rdkit_toolkit.get_input_format_from_source(source=None, format=None)

Get the most appropriate format given the available source and format information

If format is a chemfp.base_toolkit.Format then return it. If it’s a Format-like object with “name” and “compression” attributes use it to make a real Format object with the same attributes. If it’s a string then use it to create a Format object.

If format is None, use the source to auto-detect the format. If auto-detection is not possible, assume it’s an uncompressed SMILES file.

Parameters:
  • source (a filename (as a string), a file object, or None to read from stdin) – the structure data source.
  • format (a Format(-like) object, string, or None) – format information, if known.
Returns:

a chemfp.base_toolkit.Format object

chemfp.rdkit_toolkit.get_output_format_from_destination(destination=None, format=None)

Get the most appropriate format given the available destination and format information

If format is a chemfp.base_toolkit.Format then return it. If it’s a Format-like object with “name” and “compression” attributes use it to make a real Format object with the same attributes. If it’s a string then use it to create a Format object.

If format is None, use the destination to auto-detect the format. If auto-detection is not possible, assume it’s an uncompressed SMILES file.

Parameters:
  • destination (a filename (as a string), a file object, or None to read from stdin) – The structure data source.
  • format (a Format(-like) object, string, or None) – format information, if known.
Returns:

a chemfp.base_toolkit.Format object

chemfp.rdkit_toolkit.read_molecules(source=None, format=None, id_tag=None, reader_args=None, errors='strict', location=None, encoding='utf8', encoding_errors='strict')

Return an iterator that reads RDKit molecules from a structure file

Iterate through the format structure records in source. If format is None then auto-detect the format based on the source. For SD files, use id_tag to get the record id from the given SD tag instead of the title line. (read_molecules() will ignore the id_tag. It exists to make it easier to switch between reader functions.)

Note: the reader returns a new RDKit molecule each time.

The reader_args dictionary parameters depend on the format. These include:

  • SMILES
    • delimiter - one of “tab”, “space”, “to-eol”, the space or tab characters, or None
    • has_header - True or False
    • sanitize - True or default sanitizes; False for unsanitized processing
  • InChI
    • delimiter - one of “tab”, “space”, “to-eol”, the space or tab characters, or None
    • sanitize - True or default sanitizes; False for unsanitized processing
    • removeHs - True or default removes explicit hydrogens; False leaves them in the structure
    • logLevel - an integer log level
    • treatWarningAsError - True raises an exception on error; False or default keeps processing
  • SDF
    • sanitize - True or default sanitizes; False for unsanitized processing
    • removeHs - True or default removes explicit hydrogens; False leaves them in the structure
    • strictParsing - True or default for strict parsing; False for lenient parsing

The errors parameter specifies how to handle errors. “strict” raises an exception, “report” sends a message to stderr and goes to the next record, and “ignore” goes to the next record.

The location parameter takes a chemfp.io.Location instance. If None then a default Location will be created.

See chemfp.rdkit_toolkit.read_ids_and_molecules() if you want (id, molecule) pairs instead of just the molecules.

Parameters:
  • source (a filename, file object, or None to read from stdin) – the structure source
  • format (a format name string, or Format object, or None to auto-detect) – the input structure format
  • id_tag (string, or None to use the record title) – SD tag containing the record id
  • reader_args (a dictionary) – reader parameters passed to the underlying toolkit
  • errors (one of "strict", "report", or "ignore") – specify how to handle errors
  • location (a chemfp.io.Location object, or None) – object used to track parser state information
Returns:

a chemfp.base_toolkit.MoleculeReader iterating RDKit molecules

chemfp.rdkit_toolkit.read_molecules_from_string(content, format, id_tag=None, reader_args=None, errors='strict', location=None)

Return an iterator that reads RDKit molecules from a string containing structure records

content is a string containing 0 or more records in the format format. See chemfp.rdkit_toolkit.read_molecules() for details about the other parameters. See chemfp.rdkit_toolkit.read_ids_and_molecules_from_string() if you want to read (id, RDKit) pairs instead of just molecules.

Parameters:
  • content (a string) – the string containing structure records
  • format (a format name string, or Format object) – the input structure format
  • id_tag (string, or None to use the record title) – SD tag containing the record id
  • reader_args (a dictionary) – reader arguments passed to the underlying toolkit
  • errors (one of "strict", "report", or "ignore") – specify how to handle errors
  • location (a chemfp.io.Location object, or None) – object used to track parser state information

chemfp.rdkit_toolkit.read_ids_and_molecules(source=None, format=None, id_tag=None, reader_args=None, errors='strict', location=None, encoding='utf8', encoding_errors='strict')

Return an iterator that reads (id, RDKit molecule) pairs from a structure file

See chemfp.rdkit_toolkit.read_molecules() for full parameter details. The major difference is that this returns an iterator of (id, RDKit molecule) pairs instead of just the molecules.

Parameters:
  • source (a filename, file object, or None to read from stdin) – the structure source
  • format (a format name string, or Format object, or None to auto-detect) – the input structure format
  • id_tag (string, or None to use the record title) – SD tag containing the record id
  • reader_args (a dictionary) – reader arguments passed to the underlying toolkit
  • errors (one of "strict", "report", or "ignore") – specify how to handle errors
  • location (a chemfp.io.Location object, or None) – object used to track parser state information
Returns:

a chemfp.base_toolkit.IdAndMoleculeReader iterating (id, RDKit molecule) pairs

chemfp.rdkit_toolkit.read_csv_ids_and_molecules(source, *, id_column=1, mol_column=2, dialect=None, has_header=True, compression='auto', format='smi', id_tag=None, reader_args=None, errors='report', csv_errors='strict', location=None, encoding='utf8', encoding_errors='strict')

Read ids and molecules from column(s) of a CSV file using RDKit.

Read from source, which may be a filename, a file-like object, or None (the default) to read from stdin.

Use id_column and mol_column to specify the columns containing the record identifier and molecule record. By default the identifiers come from column 1 (the first column) and the molecules from column 2 (the second column). Columns can be specified by integer position (starting with 1), or by a string matching the title from the header line. If id_column is None then the molecule id will come from parsing the molecule record.

Use dialect to specify the type of CSV file. The default of None infers the dialect from the filename extension; *.csv for comma-separated, and *.tsv for tab-separated. The dialect can be specified directly as “csv” or “tsv”, as a registered Python csv dialect at https://docs.python.org/3/library/csv.html (though “excel” is the same as “csv” and “excel-tab” is the same as “tsv”), or as a csv.Dialect or a .class:CSVDialect instance.

If has_header is True then the first line/record contains column titles, and if False then there are no column titles.

Use compression to specify how the file compression format. The default “auto” uses the filename extension. Other options are “gz” and “zst”, or the empty string “” to mean no compresssion.

Use format to specify the structure format for how to parse the molecule column. The default of ‘smi’ will parse it as a SMILES string and, if id_column=None, will also parse any identifier.

The id_tag and reader_args arguments contain additional format configuration parameters.

The errors and csv_errors describe how to handle failures in molecule parsing and CSV parsing, respectively. The default is to report molecule parse failures to stderr, and to stop parsing if a CSV row does not contain enough columns.

The location parameter takes a chemfp.io.Location instance. If None then a default Location will be created.

The encoding and encoding_errors are strings describing the input file character encoding, and how to handle decoding errors. See https://docs.python.org/3/library/codecs.html#error-handlers and https://docs.python.org/3/library/codecs.html#error-handlers for details.

Parameters:
  • source (a filename, file object, or None to read from stdin) – the CSV source
  • id_column (integer position (starting from 1), string, or None) – the column position or column title containing the identifier
  • mol_column (integer position (starting from 1), string) – the column position or column title containing the structure record
  • dialect (None, a string name, or a Dialect instance) – the CSV dialect
  • has_header (bool) – True if the first record contains titles, False of it does not
  • compression (string or None) – file compression format
  • format (a format name string, or Format object) – the molecule structure format
  • id_tag (string, or None to use the record title) – SD tag containing the record id
  • reader_args (a dictionary) – reader arguments passed to the underlying toolkit
  • errors (one of "strict", "report", or "ignore") – specify how to handle molecule parse errors
  • csv_errors (one of "strict", "report", or "ignore") – specify how to handle CSV errors

chemfp.rdkit_toolkit.read_ids_and_molecules_from_string(content, format, id_tag=None, reader_args=None, errors='strict', location=None)

Return an iterator that reads (id, RDKit molecule) pairs from a string containing structure records

content is a string containing 0 or more records in the format format. See chemfp.rdkit_toolkit.read_molecules() for details about the other parameters. See chemfp.rdkit_toolkit.read_molecules_from_string() if you just want to read the RDKit molecules instead of (id, molecule) pairs.

Parameters:
  • content (a string) – the string containing structure records
  • format (a format name string, or Format object) – the input structure format
  • id_tag (string, or None to use the record title) – SD tag containing the record id
  • reader_args (a dictionary) – reader arguments passed to the underlying toolkit

chemfp.rdkit_toolkit.make_id_and_molecule_parser(format, id_tag=None, reader_args=None, errors='strict')

Create a specialized function which takes a record and returns an (id, RDKit molecule) pair

The returned function is optimized for reading many records from individual strings because it only does parameter validation once. However, I haven’t really noticed much of a performance difference between this and chemfp.rdkit_toolkit.parse_id_and_molecule() so you can probably so I suggest you use that function directly instead of making a specialized function. (Let me know if making a specialized function is useful.)

See chemfp.rdkit_toolkit.read_molecules() for details about the other parameters.

Parameters:
  • format (a format name string, or Format object) – the input structure format
  • id_tag (string, or None to use the record title) – SD tag containing the record id

open_molecule_writer(destination, "inchikey", writer_args={...}, errors=errors)

along with compression based on the destination filename’s extension.

Parameters:
  • destination (None, a filename string, or a file-like object) – where to write the molecules
  • options (a string (default: "")) – an configuration string to pass to the InChI API
  • logLevel (an integer, or None to disable logging completely (default: None)) – the log level for the InChI API
  • treatWarningAsError (Boolean (default: False)) – treat any InChI warnings as an error
  • delimiter (One of None, 'to_eol', 'space', 'tab', 'comma', 'whitespace', 'native', or the space or tab characters (default: None)) – The separator between the SMILES and the id
  • include_id (Boolean (default: True)) – if true, include the molecule id in the output
  • errors (one of "strict", "ignore", or "log") – specify how to handle errors
Returns:

a chemfp.base_toolkit.MoleculeWriter expecting RDKit molecules

Open an InChIKey file (with InChIKey and optional id) to write RDKit molecules to an in-memory string

This is equivalent to calling:

open_molecule_writer_to_string("inchikey", writer_args={...}, errors=errors)

Use write_molecules_to_string() to write compressed output.

Parameters:
  • options (a string (default: "")) – an configuration string to pass to the InChI API
  • logLevel (an integer, or None to disable logging completely (default: None)) – the log level for the InChI API
  • treatWarningAsError (Boolean (default: False)) – treat any InChI warnings as an error

  • include_id (Boolean (default: True)) – if true, include the molecule id in the output
  • errors (one of "strict", "ignore", or "log") – specify how to handle errors
Returns:

a chemfp.base_toolkit.MoleculeWriter expecting RDKit molecules

chemfp.rdkit_toolkit.create_inchikeystring(mol: Any, *, id: Optional[str, None] = None, options: str = '', logLevel: Optional[int, None] = None, treatWarningAsError: bool = False, errors: str = 'strict') → Optional[str, None]

Generate an InChIKey string from an RDKit molecule

This is equivalent to calling:

create_string(mol, "inchikeystring", id=id, writer_args={...}, errors=errors)
Parameters:
  • mol (an RDKit molecule) – a molecule object
  • id (None or a string (default: None)) – an alternate identifier for the output record, if relevant
  • options (a string (default: "")) – an configuration string to pass to the InChI API
  • logLevel (an integer, or None to disable logging completely (default: None)) – the log level for the InChI API
  • treatWarningAsError (Boolean (default: False)) – treat any InChI warnings as an error
  • errors (one of "strict", "ignore", or "log") – specify how to handle errors
Returns:

a string, or None if errors are ignored

chemfp.rdkit_toolkit.parse_smiles(content: Union[str, bytes], *, sanitize: bool = True, cxsmiles: bool = True, delimiter: Optional[Literal[to_eol, space, tab, comma, whitespace, native, , ], None] = None, errors: str = 'strict')

Parse a SMILES string and its id using the RDKit toolkit

This is equivalent to calling:

parse_molecule(content, "smi", reader_args={...}, errors=errors)
Parameters:
  • sanitize (Boolean (default: True)) – If true, sanitize the molecule after parsing
  • cxsmiles (Boolean (default: True)) – If true, look for ChemAxon CXSMILES extensions after the SMILES string
