Hi,
OK, since you seem to be talking about the latest svn code, I got the latest
revision now.

I don't get errors while Gaussian(stringiofile).parse(), so it seems to
generally work. However, I don't get an scfenergies attribute from
StringIO.StringIO(" Entering Gaussian System, Link 0=/opt/g03/g03/g03\n SCF
Done: E(UB+HF-LYP) = -887.172106755 A.U. after 59 cycles")
, and ccopen() doesn't recognize it as Gaussian type. Well, I guess that's
because cclib is not really made to handle small fake logfiles. As I don't
have the time to test how to trick it, I think I'll take Karol's friendly
offer and put sth like that as a feature request on sourceforge...
(But first I'll wait if it is a bug that sometimes, I don't get an scfvalues
attribute even for real gaussian03 log files. I'll post a bug report on that)
> How did you test that the file is still open?
I can't remember, but it doesn't matter. I'd just like to know if I have
to 'do' sth to cleanly close my log files at the end of my program code. You
know, sth like
ccopen(myfile)
...
ccclose(myfile)
...or does cclib handle this?
Regards,
Xaver
