Python API Limitations

This is a prerelease version of the Chemaxon Python API, which is not intended for production usage.

Known Limitations

  • Only python 3.11, 3.12 and 3.13 are tested and supported.
  • The following chemterm functions are tested (for now): atomCount(), atomCount(<atomNumber>), mass(), formula(), ringAtomCount(), fsp3().
    Other chemterm functions might work as well, but their operation has not been examined.
  • We only support the following molecule formats (for now): smiles, cxsmiles, smarts, MOL V2000, MOL V3000, mrv, cxon, name.
  • Molecule objects are immutable. That means they cannot be modified after initialization. The maximum supported atom count is 800 (heavy atoms and explicit hydrogens together).
