[gmx-developers] Looking for new developers

[Daniel Seeliger]

Hi,

I've once started to write a Python interface for gromacs. It's 
basically interfacing a bunch of gromacs C-structures and provides 
access to some functions (IO, reading xtc from Python, command line,... ).
It's very quick and dirty and I'm not actively working on it at the 
moment. However, if anybody is interested in using it as starting point 
for further development, you can get it here:

http://www.mpibpc.mpg.de/groups/grubmueller/start/people/dseelig/pymacs.html

The existing code would surely benefit from the expertise of a "real" 
Python/C-API expert. Having the interface between the main gmx 
structures (t_atoms, t_topology,...) on a solid base would in my opinion 
be the key issue for further development of the interface.
This could also be a first step towards a PyMOL/gromacs interface, which 
for my feeling would be the most straightforward way to provide 
graphical support for gromacs.

Regards,
Daniel
