# process_input

`psi4.driver.``process_input`(raw_input, print_level=1)

  Function to preprocess raw input, the text of the input file, then parse it, validate it for format, and convert it into legitimate Python. raw_input is printed to the output file unless print_level =0. Does a series of regular expression filters, where the matching portion of the input is replaced by the output of the corresponding function (in this module) call. Returns a string concatenating module import lines, a copy of the user’s .psi4rc files, a setting of the scratch directory, a dummy molecule, and the processed raw_input.
