Package: interference-calculator
Interference calculatorInterference calculator calculates all molecules that can be formed (the interferences) from a combination of a list of atoms (sample composition), given a target mass and range. The calculation considers all isotopes of the sample atoms and build molecules up to a given size. The results are displayed in both a table and a mass spectrum.The program can also display the standard ratios of the isotopes for any given element. The results include the natural abundance, standard ratio, inverse ratio, and the standard material in which the isotopic ratios where measured.InstallationTo use interference_calculator, first you need to have Python installed. Download Pythonhere. Once Python is installed, open a terminal window (command window on Windows) and type:$pipinstallinterference_calculatoron the command line to install interference calculator.RunningTo start the program, simply run the ui.py script.$pythoninterference_calculator/ui.pyUse in IPythonInterference_calculator can also be used from an interactive interpreter or in another Python script. For example, to calculate the mass interference around iron (Fe, mass 56), given a sample that consists of Si, Ca, O, and H, use it like this.>>> import interference_calculator as ic
>>> ic.interference(['Ca', 'O', 'H', 'Si'], 'Fe')

After parsing, it holds information about the molecule, such as mass, elements, isotopes, and relative abundance.Molecule.formula()can be used to typeset the molecular formula in various ways.:>>> m = ic.Molecule('C2 15N O3 2+')
>>> m.elements
['N', 'C', 'O']

>>> m.isotopes
['15N', '12C', '16O']

>>> m.masses
