Hi Noel I tried replacing
pybel.readstring('smi', str(v_name)).draw(show=False, filename=img_path) with pybel.readstring('smi', str(v_name)).draw(show=False, filename=img_path, formatok=obConversion.SetOutFormat("_png2")) but I got the error "draw() got an unexpected keyword argument 'formatok'". I expected it, because there is no formatok argument in the documentation for draw [1]. I also tried calling formatok = obconversion.SetOutFormat("_png2") before draw, but I got the original error: ImportError: PNG output format not found. You should compile Open Babel with PNG support. See installation instructions for more information. Could you explain to me how/where should I use formatok? Thanks Carolina [1] http://openbabel.org/docs/2.3.1/UseTheLibrary/Python_PybelAPI.html#pybel.Molecule.draw On 04/02/2014 11:54 AM, Noel O'Boyle wrote: > It's a bug in the Pybel release.
