class `openforcefield.utils.toolkits.``ToolkitWrapper`

  Toolkit wrapper base class.

    `toolkit_name`

      The name of the toolkit wrapped by this class.

  Methods

  `from_file`(filename, file_format[, …]) | Return an openforcefield.topology.Molecule from a file using this toolkit.
  `from_file_obj`(file_obj, file_format[, …]) | Return an openforcefield.topology.Molecule from a file-like object (an object with a “.read()” method using this
  `is_available`() | Check whether this toolkit wrapper is available for use because the underlying toolkit can be found.
  `requires_toolkit`() |
  `toolkit_is_available`() | Check whether the corresponding toolkit can be imported

  `__init__`($self, /, *args, **kwargs)

    Initialize self. See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

  Methods

  `from_file`(filename, file_format[, …]) | Return an openforcefield.topology.Molecule from a file using this toolkit.
  `from_file_obj`(file_obj, file_format[, …]) | Return an openforcefield.topology.Molecule from a file-like object (an object with a “.read()” method using this
  `is_available`() | Check whether this toolkit wrapper is available for use because the underlying toolkit can be found.
  `requires_toolkit`() |
  `toolkit_is_available`() | Check whether the corresponding toolkit can be imported

  Attributes

  `toolkit_file_read_formats` | List of file formats that this toolkit can read.
  `toolkit_file_write_formats` | List of file formats that this toolkit can write.
  `toolkit_installation_instructions` | classmethod(function) -> method
  `toolkit_name` | The name of the toolkit wrapped by this class.

  `toolkit_name`

    The name of the toolkit wrapped by this class.

  `toolkit_installation_instructions`

    classmethod(function) -> method

    Convert a function to be a class method.

    A class method receives the class as implicit first argument, just like an instance method receives the instance. To declare a class method, use this idiom:

    > class C:

    >   @classmethod def f(cls, arg1, arg2, …):

    >   > …

    It can be called either on the class (e.g. C.f()) or on an instance (e.g. C().f()). The instance is ignored except for its class. If a class method is called for a derived class, the derived class object is passed as the implied first argument.

    Class methods are different than C++ or Java static methods. If you want those, see the staticmethod builtin.

  `toolkit_file_read_formats`

    List of file formats that this toolkit can read.

  `toolkit_file_write_formats`

    List of file formats that this toolkit can write.

  static `toolkit_is_available`()

    Check whether the corresponding toolkit can be imported

    Note

    This method call may be expensive.

    Returns
      is_installed bool

        True if corresponding toolkit is installed, False otherwise.

  classmethod `is_available`()

    Check whether this toolkit wrapper is available for use because the underlying toolkit can be found.

    Note

    This method caches the result of any costly checks for file paths or module imports.

    Parameters
      is_available bool

        True if toolkit is available for use, False otherwise

  `from_file`(filename, file_format, allow_undefined_stereo=False)

    Return an openforcefield.topology.Molecule from a file using this toolkit.

    Parameters
      filename str

        The file to read the molecule from

      file_format str

        Format specifier, usually file suffix (eg. ‘MOL2’, ‘SMI’) Note that not all toolkits support all formats. Check ToolkitWrapper.toolkit_file_read_formats for details.

      allow_undefined_stereo bool, default=False

        If false, raises an exception if any molecules contain undefined stereochemistry.

      Returns
      ——-
      molecules Molecule or list of Molecules

        a list of Molecule objects is returned.

  `from_file_obj`(file_obj, file_format, allow_undefined_stereo=False)
    Return an openforcefield.topology.Molecule from a file-like object (an object with a “.read()” method using this

      toolkit.

    Parameters
      file_obj file-like object

        The file-like object to read the molecule from

      file_format str

        Format specifier, usually file suffix (eg. ‘MOL2’, ‘SMI’) Note that not all toolkits support all formats. Check ToolkitWrapper.toolkit_file_read_formats for details.

      allow_undefined_stereo bool, default=False

        If false, raises an exception if any molecules contain undefined stereochemistry. If false, the function skips loading the molecule.

    Returns
      molecules Molecule or list of Molecules

        a list of Molecule objects is returned.
