sime run using Ar data from above folder.

from dlpoly import DLPoly

dlp="/home/drFaustroll/playground/dlpoly/dl-poly-alin/build-yaml/bin/DLPOLY.Z"

dlPoly = DLPoly(control="Ar.control", config="Ar.config",
                field="Ar.field", workdir="argon")
dlPoly.run(executable=dlp,numProcs = 4)

# change temperature and rerun, from previous termination
dlPoly = DLPoly(control="Ar.control", config="argon/REVCON", destconfig="Ar.config",
             field="Ar.field", workdir="argon-T310")
dlPoly.control['temp'] = 310.0
dlPoly.run(executable=dlp,numProcs = 4)

alternatively you can set the environment variable DLP_EXE to point to DL_POLY_4 executable and remove the executable parameter from run.

export DLP_EXE="/home/drFaustroll/playground/dlpoly/dl-poly-alin/build-yaml/bin/DLPOLY.Z"

from dlpoly import DLPoly

dlPoly = DLPoly(control="Ar.control", config="Ar.config",
                field="Ar.field", workdir="argon")
dlPoly.run(numProcs = 4)

# change temperature and rerun, from previous termination
dlPoly = DLPoly(control="Ar.control", config="argon/REVCON", destconfig="Ar.config",
             field="Ar.field", workdir="argon-T310")
