YaPyCon

YaPyCon embeds a Python console in YASARA, "...a molecular-graphics, -modeling and -simulation program for Windows, Linux, MacOS and Android" thereby:

1. Enabling rapid prototyping of YASARA scripts

2. Offering common "shell" functionality such as:

   • Code auto-completion
   • Inline code documentation
   • Tighter integration with matplotlib

3. Improving and expanding certain aspects of YASARA's Python functionality.

Quickstart

Installation

1. Download the latest release of YaPyCon and decompress it to a directory on your computer.
2. Ensure that your Python virtual environment includes YaPyCon's requirements (see requirements.txt)
3. Ensure that the environment variable YASARA_HOME points to the top level directory where YASARA is installed on your computer.
4. Run the install_plugin script from the decompressed YaPyCon release archive.
5. Drop to a terminal, activate the Python environment and launch YASARA.

If everything has gone well, you will see a "Python Console" option added under the "Window" menu option:

Uninstallation

To remove YaPyCon run the uninstall_plugin script from the decompressed YaPyCon release archive.

Documentation

The complete documentation of YaPyCon is included in the release archive (yapycon.zip), under the directory doc/ and is also available online at readthedocs.
