Dear RDKit users:

I tried reading a mol2 file using the function MolFromMol2 ().  The goal of my 
script is to read the molecule and find 5 or 6 membered aromatic rings.  First 
I got the following error:

Can't Kekulize mol

The code I used is as follows:

mol=Chem.MolFromMol2File("%s.lig.%d.mol2"%(name, i), sanitize = True, removeHs 
= False)

As a work-around I tried removing the sanitize flag and did the following


   mol=Chem.MolFromMol2File("%s.lig.%d.mol2"%(name, i), sanitize = False, 
removeHs = False)

   aromatic_6="[c,n]1[c,n][c,n][c,n][c,n][c,n]1"
   aromatic_5="[c,n]1[c,n][c,n][c,n][c,n]1"

   pattern6=Chem.MolFromSmarts(aromatic_6)
   pattern5=Chem.MolFromSmarts(aromatic_5)

   print "Pattern 6 "
   lar = mol.GetSubstructMatch(pattern6)
   print lar
   print "Pattern 5 "
   lar = mol.GetSubstructMatch(pattern5)
   print lar

The output should 3 aromatic six-membered rings and 1 aromatic five-membered 
ring.  Instead I get only the first six-membered ring and no listing of the 
five-membered ring.:

   Pattern 6
   (0, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9)
   Pattern 5
   ()

So basically, I can not get around the kekulize function.  I looked the mol2 
file (attached) and it correctly lists the bond types as aromatic for all of 
the rings.  Is there a way to use the bond information from the mol2 file to 
assign aromaticity?

Thanks!!

-Sergio
