# resultsFile
Python interface to read output files of quantum chemistry programs

To add a module to read a new kind of output file, just add a file 
in the `Modules` directory.



# Using the library

Example (`resultsFile` is supposed to be in your `sys.path`):

``` Python
import resultsFile 

file = resultsFile.getFile("g09_output.log")
print('recognized as', str(file).split('.')[-1].split()[0])
print(file.mo_sets)

```

## Constraints

### Gaussian09

* `GFPRINT`  : Needed to read the AO basis set
* `pop=Full` : Needed to read all the MOs
* `#p CAS(SlaterDet)` : CAS-SCI CI coefficients

When doing a CAS with Gaussian, first do the Hartree-Fock calculation saving the checkpoint
file and then do the CAS in a second calculation.


### GAMESS-US

For MCSCF calculations, first compute the MCSCF single-point wave function with
the GUGA algorithm. Then, put the the MCSCF orbitals (of the `.dat` file) in
the GAMESS input file, and run a single-point GUGA CI calculation with the
following keywords:

* `PRTTOL=0.0001` in the `$GUGDIA` group to use a threshold of 1.E-4 on the CI coefficients
* `NPRT=2` in the `$CIDRT` group to print the CSF expansions in terms of Slater determinants
* `PRTMO=.T.` in the `$GUESS` group to print the molecular orbitals

### Molpro (deprecated)

* `print, basis;` :  Needed to read the AO basis set
* `gprint,orbital;` : Needed to read the MOs
* `gprint,civector; gthresh,printci=0.;` : Needed to read the CI coefficients
* `orbprint` : Ensures all the MOs are printed

An RHF calculation is mandatory before any MCSCF calculation, since some
information is printed only the RHF section. Be sure to print *all* molecular
orbitals using the `orbprint` keyword, and to use the same spin multiplicity
and charge between the RHF and the CAS.


# Debugging

Any module can be run as an stand-alone executable. For example:

```
$ resultsFile/Modules/gamessFile.py
