GULPy

GULPy is a Python interface for the General Utility Lattice Program (GULP). The package provides several functions to:

• Interface pymatgen structures and molecules and write them as GULP files, including the correct labels, shells etc.
• Writing input files and launching GULP optimization, single-point and MD jobs
• Parsing GULP output files

Installation

This software requires the following packages:

• numpy

• pandas (>= 2.1)
• rdkit
• networkx
• PyYAML

conda create -n gulpy python=3.14 numpy pandas networkx pyyaml rdkit pymatgen setuptools -c conda-forge

Quote any version specifier you add (e.g. "pymatgen>=2024.3.29"), or the shell reads > as an output redirect.

You can then install GULPy by running
