kallisto 1.0.6

The Kallisto software enables the efficient calculation of atomic features that can be used within a quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) approach. Furthermore, several modelling helpers are implemented.

Introduction

We developed the kallisto program for the efficient and robust calculation of atomic features using molecular geometries either in a xmol or a Turbomole format. Furthermore, several modelling tools are implemented, e.g., to calculate root-mean squared deviations via quaternions (including rotation matrices), sorting of molecular geometries and many more. All features of kallisto are described in detail within our documentation (GitBook repository).

Main dependencies

click 7.1.2 Composable command line interface toolkit
numpy 1.20.1 NumPy is the fundamental package for array computing with Python.
scipy 1.6.0 SciPy: Scientific Library for Python
└── numpy >=1.16.5

For a list of all dependencies have a look at the pyproject.toml file.

Installation from PyPI

To install kallisto via pip use our published PyPI package

pip install kallisto

Installation from Source

Requirements to install kallistofrom sources:

• poetry
• pyenv or conda
• python >=3.7

First check that poetry is running correctly (v1.0.10 at the time of writing)

> poetry --version
Poetry version 1.0.10

Create a virtual environment (via pyenv or conda) and activate it. Afterwards, clone the kallisto project from GitHub and install it using poetry

> git clone [e-mail]:AstraZeneca/kallisto.git
> cd kallisto
> poetry install

Testing suite

The kallisto project uses nox as an automated unit test suite, which is therefore an additional dependency.

Default nox session

The default session includes: linting (lint), type checks (mypy, pytype), and unit tests (tests).

> nox

When everything runs smoothly through, you are ready to go! After one successful nox run, we can reuse the created virtual environment via the -r flag.

> nox -r

Different unit test sessions are implemented (check the noxfile.py). They can be called separately via the run session -rs flag.

Tests

Run all unit tests that are defined in the /tests directory.

> nox -rs tests

Lint

kallisto uses the flake8 linter (check the .flake8 config file).

> nox -rs lint

Black

kallisto uses the black code formatter.

> nox -rs black

Safety

kallisto checks the security of dependencies via safety.

> nox -rs safety

Mypy

kallisto checks for static types via mypy (check the mypy.ini config file).

> nox -rs mypy

Pytype

kallisto furthermore uses pytype for type checks.

> nox -rs pytype

Coverage

Unit test coverage can be checked as well.

> nox -rs coverage
