This is a Python package to assist in handling [mmCIF](https://mmcif.wwpdb.org/)
and [BinaryCIF](https://github.com/molstar/BinaryCIF) files compliant with the
[integrative/hybrid modeling (IHM)](https://mmcif.wwpdb.org/dictionaries/mmcif_ihm_ext.dic/Index/)
extension. It works with Python 3.6 or later.

To handle non-integrative theoretical models (for example, homology models),
see the [python-modelcif](https://github.com/ihmwg/python-modelcif) package
which supports files compliant with the
[ModelCIF](https://mmcif.wwpdb.org/dictionaries/mmcif_ma.dic/Index/)
extension.

Please [see the documentation](https://python-ihm.readthedocs.org/)
or some
[worked examples](https://github.com/ihmwg/python-ihm/tree/main/examples)
for more details.

# Installation with conda, Homebrew or pip

If you are using [Anaconda Python](https://www.anaconda.com/), install with

```
conda install -c conda-forge ihm
```

On a Mac with [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/), install with

```
brew tap salilab/salilab; brew install ihm
```

On a Fedora or RedHat Enterprise Linux box, install with

```
dnf copr enable salilab/salilab; dnf install python3-ihm
```

On an Ubuntu LTS box, install from
[our PPA](https://launchpad.net/~salilab/+archive/ubuntu/ppa) with

```
apt install software-properties-common; add-apt-repository ppa:salilab/ppa;
apt install python3-ihm
```

Alternatively, install with pip:

```
pip install ihm
```

(Note that pip builds a C extension module for faster reading of mmCIF and
BinaryCIF files. This requires that your system has a C compiler. If you
don't have a C compiler available, the library will read files using pure
Python instead.)

# Installation from source code

To build and install from a clone of the GitHub repository, run

```
python setup.py build
python setup.py install
```

Note that this will attempt to build a C extension module for faster reading
of mmCIF and BinaryCIF files. This requires that your system has a C compiler
and [SWIG](https://www.swig.org/). If either of these components are missing,
the library will fall back to reading files using pure Python instead.

If you want to write [BinaryCIF](https://github.com/molstar/BinaryCIF)
files (or to read them without the C extension module), you will also need the
Python [msgpack](https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack-python) package.

# Testing

There are a number of testcases in the `test` directory. Each one can be run
like a normal Python script to test the library. They can also be all run at
once using [nose](https://nose.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)
or [pytest](https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/). They will also test
the C extension module if it is first built with
`python setup.py build_ext --inplace`.
