penzene
ChemDraw-style 2D chemical structures from Python, drawn by the same engine as the Penzene desktop app.
import penzene as pz
doc = pz.from_smiles("CC(=O)Oc1ccccc1C(=O)O") # aspirin
doc.clean()
doc.export("aspirin.svg") # identical to the app's export (also .png, .pdf)
doc.save("aspirin.penz") # open and keep editing in the app
doc.formula, doc.mw # ('C9H8O4', 180.16…)
doc # renders inline in Jupyter
# Build with ChemDraw's hotkeys: from H2N-CH3, "42n152o" makes Ala-Ala
m = pz.Document()
n = m.add_atom("N"); c = m.add_atom("C", x=14.4); m.add_bond(n, c)
m.hotkeys(c, "42n152o")
Also: pz.read(path) for .penz, .mol and ChemDraw .cdxml; to_smiles(), to_molblock(), to_inchi(), to_inchikey(), to_svg(), to_png(dpi); doc.style = "RSC" (or "ACS 1996", "JDP"); abbreviations such as add_atom("Boc").
Penzene brings its own copy of Qt. Loading it into a process that already has PySide6 or PyQt (for example Jupyter with a Qt event loop) may conflict; the plain Jupyter kernel is fine.
