rush-py: Rush Python Client
Installation
Install from PyPI:
pip install rush-py
If you manage dependencies with uv, add it to your project (updates pyproject.toml and uv.lock):
uv add rush-py
Using in Your Project
Add to your pyproject.toml:
[project]
dependencies = [
"rush-py",
]
Rush Setup
Use environment variables to configure access:
RUSH_TOKEN: Put your token's value hereRUSH_PROJECT: Put your project's UUID value here; can find it in the URL once selecting a project in the Rush UIRUSH_ENDPOINT: Use this to choose between staging and prod; if omitted, defaults to prod
You can also put RUSH_TOKEN and RUSH_PROJECT in a .env file instead of exporting them in every terminal session. rush-py looks for a .env file in the current working directory first, then falls back to ~/.rush/.env. Environment variables always take priority over .env values.
# .env
RUSH_TOKEN=your-token-here
RUSH_PROJECT=your-project-id-here
Quick Start
from pathlib import Path
from rush import exess
topology_path = Path.cwd() / "thrombin_1c_t.json"
# For energy, the only mandatory argument is the Topology
run = exess.energy(topology_path)
# Fetch the results for direct access
result = run.fetch()
# Save the results
paths = run.save()
Outputs are saved under <workspace_dir>/<PROJECT_ID>/ (default: current working directory). To customize the workspace location, call rush.session.configure(workspace_dir=Path("...")).
# For interaction_energy, second argument is reference fragment
result = exess.interaction_energy(topology_path, 1).fetch()
# Use export keywords to obtain additional information
result = exess.energy(
topology_path,
frag_keywords=None, # MBE is not supported for CHELPG charges
export_keywords=exess.ExportKeywords(export_chelpg_charges=True)
).fetch()
# QMMM requires Residues too
topology_path = "./6a5j_t.json"
residues_path = "./6a5j_r.json"
# Without calling `.fetch()` or `.save()` the run takes place asynchronously
# and a run object is returned
run = exess.qmmm(
topology_path=topology_path,
residues_path=residues_path,
n_timesteps=500,
qm_fragments=[0],
)
# The output is a QMMMResult object that contains the geometries for each timestep,
# which can be swapped into a Topology's geometry field
result = run.fetch()
# Get the full list of parameters and default arguments for a function
