It looks Avogadro2 will be using Chemical JSON whenever possible to transfer data. Do you think this would be possible with cclib? http://wiki.openchemistry.org/Chemical_JSON Right now, there aren't really specifications for computational data (MO, basis, etc.) in Chemical JSON. So CML would

Albert, I think CML will continue to be very much a first class citizen too. JSON feels much easier to change/augment, and Python support for JSON is very good - it would be great to add it, but I don't think it is critical. We could add some simple Python glue too, the format is super-simple.

One of the things I want to do soon is give cclib the ability to output CML. That would be an easy way to communicate between programs in a standard format. Karol On Fri, Dec 12, 2014 at 12:33 PM, Geoffrey Hutchison geoff.hutchi...@gmail.com wrote: It sounds like you think of these things as

Hi guys, Would good project be to re-wire Avogadro to use cclib instead of relying on the quantumio in Avogadro2? I'm very much in favor of adding visualization capabilities for QuantumEspresso and CP2K. Albert -- Albert DeFusco, Ph.D.
