Re: [cclib-users] [PyMOL] ANN: release of cclib, Python parsers for comp chem

[Noel O'B. <no...@ca...>]

Dear Warren,

We are are happy to move cclib to the LGPL if it means that PyMOL will
be able to distribute cclib bundled-in.

First of all, you touched on this in your original email but I would
appreciate if you could spell out for me exactly why moving to LGPL is
necessary for us in this case.

If you've looked at our web page, and specifically
http://cclib.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Parsed_Data, you can see
that we extract a number of different pieces of information from log
files. Is there something missing that your users would want?

cclib currently requires Numeric. How does this square with PyMOL's
dependencies? It says in INSTALL that "Numerical Python" is optional.

Regards,
 Noel

(Could we continue this thread on the cclib users mailing list as I'd
like to have a record of whatever decisions we make.)
