pTable

Your chemistry homework just got easier!

pTable is a chemistry reference written in Python, which provides a quick way to perform common chemistry calculations and find useful facts and information.

Dependencies:

pTable uses a couple dependancies to work correctly. chempy and mendeleev are libraries for analytical chemistry calculations and element info, and npyscreen is a library for designing terminal applications. Install them for Python 3 like so:

sudo pip3 install chempy

sudo pip3 install npyscreen

sudo pip3 install mendeleev

Usage:

to run pTable, simply navigate to the pTable directory and run ptable.py.

For quick calculations without the GUI, you can use these console commands.

Usage: ptable [-options]

-h:   Show this message

-c:  Analyze a compound

-el: Analyze an element. pipe to grep to isolate info

-eq: Balance an equation (in quotes)

This program is a personal project, and I am only a chemistry student not an expert. Please feel free to suggest corrections and new features!

Known Issues:

• Fixed screen size will break on different screens. Needs to be dynamically allocated.
• Notepad is glitchy as heck. Will add persistance
