This will raise a ValueError if Open Babel does not implement the format format_name or that format is not available.

Parameters:	format_name (a string) – the format name
Returns:	a `chemfp.base_toolkit.Format` object

chemfp.openbabel_toolkit.get_input_format(format_name)¶

Get the named input format, or raise a ValueError

This will raise a ValueError if Open Babel does not implement the format format_name or that format is not an input format.

Parameters:	format_name (a string) – the format name
Returns:	a `chemfp.base_toolkit.Format` object

chemfp.openbabel_toolkit.get_output_format(format_name)¶

Get the named format, or raise a ValueError

This will raise a ValueError if Open Babel does not implement the format format_name or that format is not an output format.

Parameters:	format_name (a string) – the format name
Returns:	a `chemfp.base_toolkit.Format` object

chemfp.openbabel_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.openbabel_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.openbabel_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 OBMol 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 will clear and reuse the OBMol instance. Make a copy if you want to keep the molecule around.

The reader_args dictionary parameters depend on the format. Every Open Babel format supports an “options” entry, which is passed to SetOptions(). See that documentation for details. Some formats support additional parameters:

SMILES and InChI
- delimiter - one of “tab”, “space”, “to-eol”, the space or tab characters, or None
- has_header - True or False
SDF
- implementation - if “openbabel” or None, use the Open Babel record parser; if “chemfp”, use chemfp’s own record parser, which has better location tracking

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.openbabel_toolkit.read_ids_and_molecules() if you want (id, OBMol) 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.MoleculeReader iterating OBMol molecules

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

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

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

Note: the reader will clear and reuse the OBMol instance. Make a copy if you want to keep the molecule around.

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

Returns:

a chemfp.base_toolkit.MoleculeReader iterating OBMol molecules

chemfp.openbabel_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, OBMol molecule) pairs from a structure file

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

Note: the reader will clear and reuse the OBMol instance. Make a copy if you want to keep the molecule around.

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, OBMol) pairs

chemfp.openbabel_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, OBMol) pairs from a string containing structure records

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

Note: the reader will clear and reuse the OBMol instance. Make a copy if you want to keep the molecule around.

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

Returns:

a chemfp.base_toolkit.IdAndMoleculeReader iterating (id, OBMol) pairs

chemfp.openbabel_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, OBMol) pair

The returned function is optimized for reading many records from individual strings because it only does parameter validation once. The function will reuse the OBMol for successive calls, so make a copy if you want to keep it around. However, I haven’t really noticed much of a performance difference between this and chemfp.openbabel_toolkit.parse_id_and_molecule() 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.openbabel_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 reader_args (a dictionary) – reader arguments passed to the underlying toolkit errors (one of "strict", "report", or "ignore") – specify how to handle errors
Returns:	a function of the form `parser(record string) -> (id, OBMol)`

content is a string containing a single structure record in format format. (Additional records are ignored). See chemfp.openbabel_toolkit.read_molecules() for details about the other parameters. See chemfp.openbabel_toolkit.parse_id_and_molecule() if you want the (id, OBMol) pair instead of just the molecule.

Parameters:

Translate a molecule record from one format to another

Use the RDKit toolkit to parse the content as format in_format (default: “smi”) and translate it into out_format (default: “smi”). For an SDF record, use id_tag to get the record id from the given SD tag instead of the title line. Use reader_args and writer_args to configure format-specific parameters. Use id to set the id of the output record.

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.

chemfp.openbabel_toolkit.open_molecule_writer(destination=None, format=None, writer_args=None, errors='strict', location=None, encoding='utf8', encoding_errors='strict', level=None)¶

Return a MoleculeWriter which can write Open Babel molecules to a destination.

A chemfp.base_toolkit.MoleculeWriter has the methods write_molecule, write_molecules, and write_ids_and_molecules, which are ways to write an OBMol molecule, an OBMol molecule iterator, or an (id, OBMol molecule) pair iterator to a file.

Molecules are written to destination. The output format can be a string like “sdf.gz” or “smi”, a chemfp.base_toolkit.Format, or Format-like object with “name” and “compression” attributes, or None to auto-detect based on the destination. If auto-detection is not possible, the output will be written as uncompressed SMILES.

The writer_args dictionary parameters depend on the format. Every format supports an options entry, which is passed to Open Babel’s SetOptions(). See the Open Babel documentation for details. Some formats supports additional parameters:

SMILES
- delimiter - one of “tab”, “space”, “to-eol”, the space or tab characters, or None
- isomeric - True to write isomeric SMILES, False or default is non-isomeric
- canonicalization - True, “default”, or None uses Open Babel’s own canonicalization algorithm; False or “none” to use no canonicalization; “universal” generates a universal SMILES; “anticanonical” generates a SMILES with randomly assigned atom classes; “inchified” uses InChI-fied SMILES
InChI and InChIKey
- delimiter - one of “tab”, “space”, “to-eol”, the space or tab characters, or None
- include_id - True or default to include the id as the second column; False has no id column
SDF
- always_v3000 - True to always write V3000 files; False or default to write V3000 files only if needed.
- include_atom_class - True to include atom class; False or default does not
- include_hcount - True to include hcount; False or default does not

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.

Parameters:

destination (a filename, file object, or None to write to stdout) – the structure destination
format (a format name string, or Format(-like) object, or None to auto-detect) – the output structure format
writer_args (a dictionary) – writer arguments passed to the underlying toolkit
