A primitive wrapper around the Gromacs tools until we have proper python bindings. It also provides a small library (cook book) of often-used recipes and an optional analysis module with plugins for more complicated analysis tasks.
See :doc:`INSTALL` for installation instructions. Documentation is mostly provided through the python doc strings. See Download and Availability for download instructions if the instructions in :doc:`INSTALL` are not sufficient.
The source code is also available in the GromacsWrapper git repository.
Please be aware that this is alpha software that most definitely contains bugs. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are running simulations with sensible parameters.
