passagemath-buckygen 10.6.1

passagemath: Generation of nonisomorphic fullerenes with buckygen

passagemath is open source mathematical software in Python, released under the GNU General Public Licence GPLv2+.

It is a fork of SageMath, which has been developed 2005-2025 under the motto “Creating a Viable Open Source Alternative to Magma, Maple, Mathematica, and MATLAB”.

The passagemath fork uses the motto “Creating a Free Passage Between the Scientific Python Ecosystem and Mathematical Software Communities.” It was created in October 2024 with the following goals:

• providing modularized installation with pip,

• establishing first-class membership in the scientific Python ecosystem,

• giving clear attribution of upstream projects,

• providing independently usable Python interfaces to upstream libraries,

• offering platform portability and integration testing services to upstream projects,

• inviting collaborations with upstream projects,

• building a professional, respectful, inclusive community,

• [empowering Sage users to participate in the scientific Python ecosystem by publishing packages,

• developing a port to Pyodide for serverless deployment with Javascript,

• developing a native Windows port.

Full documentation is available online.

passagemath attempts to support and provides binary wheels suitable for all major Linux distributions and recent versions of macOS.

For the Linux aarch64 (ARM) platform, some third-party packages are still missing wheels; see ` <https://github.com/passagemath/passagemath?tab=readme-ov-file#full-installation-of-passagemath-from-binary-wheels-on-pypi>`__ for instructions for building them from source.

Binary wheels for native Windows (x86_64) are are available for a subset of the passagemath distributions. Use of the full functionality of passagemath on Windows currently requires the use of Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) or virtualization.

The supported Python versions in the passagemath 10.6.x series are 3.9.x-3.13.x.

About this pip-installable distribution package

This pip-installable distribution passagemath-buckygen provides an interface to buckygen, a program for the efficient generation of all nonisomorphic fullerenes.

What is included

• Binary wheels on PyPI contain prebuilt copies of buckygen.

Examples

Using the buckygen program on the command line:

$ pipx run --pip-args="--prefer-binary" --spec "passagemath-buckygen[test]" sage -sh -c buckygen

Finding the installation location of the buckygen program:

$ pipx run --pip-args="--prefer-binary" --spec "passagemath-buckygen[test]" ipython

In [1]: from sage.features.graph_generators import Buckygen

In [2]: Buckygen().absolute_filename()
Out[2]: '.../bin/buckygen'

Using the Python interface:

$ pipx run --pip-args="--prefer-binary" --spec "passagemath-buckygen[test]" ipython

In [1]: from sage.all__sagemath_buckygen import *

In [2]: len(list(graphs.fullerenes(60)))
Out[2]: 1812

In [3]: gen = graphs.fullerenes(60, ipr=True); next(gen)
Out[3]: Graph on 60 vertices
