Package for handling ModelCIF mmCIF and BinaryCIF files

This is a Python package to assist in handling mmCIF and BinaryCIF files compliant with the ModelCIF extension. It works with Python 2.7 or Python 3.

Please see the documentation (currently incomplete) or some worked examples for more details.

Installation

This module is still a work in progress and currently works only with version 0.26 or later of the python-ihm module. To use, first build and install python-ihm. Then, build with

python setup.py build
python setup.py install

If you want to read or write BinaryCIF files, you will also need the Python msgpack package.

Testing

There are a number of testcases in the test directory. Each one can be run like a normal Python script to test the library. They can also be all run at once using nose or pytest.
