Hi Stefano,

I might suggest trying VS module in oddt (https://github.com/oddt/oddt)
which is based on Pybel (DISCLAIMER: I'm the author of oddt). To overcome
the connectivity problem it just copy the coordinates of docked
conformationson the input molecules. This way you should retain the
connectivity.[
https://github.com/oddt/oddt/blob/master/oddt/docking/AutodockVina.py#L199]

Sample docking pipeline is below. Note that comments (which allow you to
save scores) in mol2 files are available in development version of
OpenBabel. If you use stable, then use SDF.

from oddt.virtualscreening import virtualscreening as vs
# Initiate virtual screening pipeline using 8 CPUs
pipeline = vs(n_cpu=8)
# Load ligands from a mol2 file
pipeline.load_ligands('mol2', 'ampc/actives_final.mol2.gz')
# Dock entire library to receptor, autocenter docking box on  ligand
pipeline.dock('autodock_vina', 'ampc/receptor.pdbqt',
'ampc/crystal_ligand.mol2')
# Write docked ligands conformations to a file (including scores)
pipeline.write('mol2', 'ampc_docked.mol2', overwrite=True, opt={'c':None})


The arguments for dock method:
