Description ftorazyne 2014-10-25 19:12:14 UTC
Function readstring() from OpenBabel 2.3.2 Python binding pybel does not recognize any supported format - 'smi','pdb' etc. Code like a

import pybel 
mymol=pybel.readstring('smi','CCOC(=O)C') 
mymol.addh() 
mymol.make3D() 
print mymol.write(format='mol2') 

receives this error: 

Traceback (most recent call last): 
 File "./test.py", line 6, in <module>
 mymol=pybel.readstring('smi','CCOC(=O)C') 
 File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pybel.py", line 179, in readstring 
 raise ValueError("%s is not a recognised Open Babel format" % format) 
ValueError: smi is not a recognised Open Babel format 

But pybel.informats contain 'smi' key: 

>>> import pybel 
>>> print sorted(pybel.informats)

It was established in discussion at OpenBabel forum (http://forums.openbabel.org/Error-in-Pybel-readstring-smi-format-not-recognized-td4657776.html) that function OBConversion.SetInFormat from openbabel.py returns "False" for any format specificator whenever it is supported or not.

I should underline, that OpenBabel was installed from port, i.e. was compilied from sources at my machine, and I do not use any pre-compilied OpenBabel binaries. I used gcc4.2 and gcc4.8.

The auto-assigner couldn't figure out who to assign the PR too because the port origin wasn't in the title.  Updating title and manually assigning to maintainer.
Comment 2 Yuri Victorovich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-05-18 06:08:01 UTC
Confirmed in 2.4.1.
Comment 3 Walter Schwarzenfeld freebsd_triage 2018-01-14 04:14:03 UTC
Maintainer feedback?
Comment 4 Yuri Victorovich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-10-14 18:16:44 UTC
This is really an upstream problem, has nothing to do with FreeBSD.
Comment 5 Daniel Engberg freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2022-03-26 14:58:08 UTC
Yuri, is this still broken?
