mmCIF Core Access Library

Build Status

Introduction

This module includes a native Python mmCIF API for data files and dictionaries along with pybind11 wrappers for the PDB C++ Core mmCIF Library.

Installation

Download the library source software from the project repository:

git clone  --recurse-submodules  https://github.com/rcsb/py-mmcif.git

Optionally, run test suite using the Tox test runner. The C++ library bindings have been tested on Centos 7/Ubuntu 20.04 Linux with GCC/G++ > 4.8.5 and MacOS (10.15) with > clang-900.0.39.2 using Python versions 2.7.18 and 3.9.4.

tox

Installation is via the program pip.

pip install mmcif

or from the local repository:

pip install .

# Check Sphinx dependencies in the introductory comments to the following script.
./initdocs.sh

A command-line script is provided as a preprocessor for modular dictionaries that include definition and data content using categories pdbx_include_dictionary, pdbx_include_category and pdbx_include_item.
