A primitive Python wrapper around the Gromacs_ tools. The library is
tested with GROMACS 4.6.5, 2018.x, 2019.x, 2020.x, 2021.x, 2022.x (and 5.x
and 2016.x should also work). It supports Python 2.7 and
3.6--3.11 on Linux and macOS.

GromacsWrapper also provides a small library (cook book) of often-used
recipes and helper functions to set up MD simulations.

`Documentation`_ is mostly provided through the python doc strings and
available at https://gromacswrapper.readthedocs.org for recent releases.

The source code is available in the `GromacsWrapper git repository`_.

Please be aware that this is **beta** software that most definitely
contains bugs. It is *your* responsibility to ensure that you are
running simulations with sensible parameters.

Quick Start
===========

Given a PDB file ``1iee.pdb``, set up and run a simple simulation (assuming
you have all other input files at hand such as the MDP files)::

>>> import gromacs
>>> print(gromacs.release)
2018.2
>>> help(gromacs.pdb2gmx)
DESCRIPTION

gmx pdb2gmx reads a .pdb (or .gro) file, reads some database files,
adds hydrogens to the molecules and generates coordinates in GROMACS
...
...
OPTIONS

Options to specify input files:

-f [<.gro/.g96/...>] (eiwit.pdb)
Structure file: gro g96 pdb brk ent esp tpr
...
...
>>> gromacs.pdb2gmx(f="1iee.pdb", o="protein.gro", p="topol.top",
... ff="oplsaa", water="tip4p")
>>> gromacs.editconf(f="protein.gro", o="boxed.gro",
... bt="dodecahedron", d=1.5, princ=True,
... input="Protein")
>>> gromacs.solvate(cp="boxed.gro", cs="tip4p", p="topol.top",
... o="solvated.gro")
>>> gromacs.grompp(f="emin.mdp", c="solvated.gro", p="topol.top",
... o="emin.tpr")
>>> gromacs.mdrun(v=True, deffnm="emin")
>>> gromacs.grompp(f="md.mdp", c="emin.gro", p="topol.top", o="md.tpr")
>>> gromacs.mdrun(v=True, deffnm="md")
