pip install ./Mold2_pywrapper

with pip:

pip install mold2-pywrapper

Get started

from Mold2_pywrapper import Mold2

mold2 = Mold2()
print(mold2.calculate(mols))

Instantiating a Mold2 object ensures that the executables for your platform are accessible. If this is not the case, an attempt to download them from the website of the FDA is made.

Should one have downloaded the original ZIP file available from the website of the FDA, the executables can be installed using the following:

path_to_zipfile = '...'  # Replace by the path to the ZIP file on your machine
mold2 = Mold2.from_executable(path_to_zipfile)
print(mold2.calculate(mols))

Executables will be installed for future use. From then on, default instanciation may be carried out:

mold2 = Mold2()
print(mold2.calculate(mols))

Details about descriptors

Any detail about the 777 Mold2 descriptors can be obtained either for a single descriptor, by providing its index:

print(mold2.descriptor_detail(15))
# rotatable bond fraction

Or for all at once:

print(mold2.descriptor_details())
# {"D001": "number of 6-membered aromatic rings (only carbon atoms)",
#  "D002": "number of 03-membered rings",
#  ...
#  }
