Sorry, I'm running the function: def debugsuite(): import profile,pstats profile.run('runsuite()','prof') prof = pstats.Stats('prof') prof.strip_dirs().sort_stats('time').print_stats(15)
where runsuite() runs the Hartree-Fock energy of a water molecule, and is given by: import unittest,logging from PyQuante.CI import CIS from PyQuante.Molecule import Molecule from PyQuante.MP import MP2 from PyQuante.OEP import oep_hf,oep_hf_an from PyQuante.PyQuante2 import SCF,SubspaceSolver,DmatSolver class UnitTests(unittest.TestCase): def setUp(self): from PyQuante.Molecule import Molecule self.h2o = Molecule('h2o',[(8,(0,0,0)),(1,(1.,0,0)),(1, (0,1.,0))], units="Angstrom") def testH2OHF(self): h2o_hf = SCF(self.h2o,method='HF') h2o_hf.iterate() self.assertAlmostEqual(h2o_hf.energy,-76.011755864850628,4) def runsuite(verbose=True): # To use psyco, uncomment this line: #import psyco; psyco.full() if verbose: verbosity=2 else: verbosity=1 # If you want more output, uncomment this line: #logging.basicConfig(format="%(message)s",level=logging.DEBUG) suite = unittest.TestLoader().loadTestsFromTestCase(UnitTests) unittest.TextTestRunner(verbosity=verbosity).run(suite) # Running without verbosity is equivalent to replacing the above # two lines with the following: #unittest.main() return On May 1, 3:50 pm, Terry Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> wrote: > Rick Muller wrote: > > I'm the main programmer for the PyQuante package, a quantum chemistry > > package in Python.
