datamol - molecular processing made easy

Docs | Homepage

---

Datamol is a python library to work with molecules. It's a layer built on top of RDKit and aims to be as light as possible.

• 🐍 Simple pythonic API
• ⚗️ RDKit first: all you manipulate are rdkit.Chem.Mol objects.
• ✅ Manipulating molecules often relies on many options; Datamol provides good defaults by design.
• 🧠 Performance matters: built-in efficient parallelization when possible with an optional progress bar.
• 🕹️ Modern IO: out-of-the-box support for remote paths using fsspec to read and write multiple formats (sdf, xlsx, csv, etc).

Installation

Use conda:

mamba install -c conda-forge datamol

Quick API Tour

import datamol as dm

# Common functions
mol = dm.to_mol("O=C(C)Oc1ccccc1C(=O)O", sanitize=True)
fp = dm.to_fp(mol)
selfies = dm.to_selfies(mol)
inchi = dm.to_inchi(mol)

# Standardize and sanitize
mol = dm.to_mol("O=C(C)Oc1ccccc1C(=O)O")
mol = dm.fix_mol(mol)
mol = dm.sanitize_mol(mol)
mol = dm.standardize_mol(mol)

# Dataframe manipulation
df = dm.data.freesolv()
mols = dm.from_df(df)

# 2D viz
legends = [dm.to_smiles(mol) for mol in mols[:10]]
dm.viz.to_image(mols[:10], legends=legends)

# Generate conformers
smiles = "O=C(C)Oc1ccccc1C(=O)O"
mol = dm.to_mol(smiles)
mol_with_conformers = dm.conformers.generate(mol)

# 3D viz (using nglview)
dm.viz.conformers(mol, n_confs=10)

# Compute SASA from conformers
sasa = dm.conformers.sasa(mol_with_conformers)

# Easy IO
mols = dm.read_sdf("s3://my-awesome-data-lake/smiles.sdf", as_df=False)
dm.to_sdf(mols, "gs://data-bucket/smiles.sdf")

Compatibilities

Version compatibilities are an essential topic for production-software stacks. We are cautious about documenting compatibility between datamol, python and rdkit.

See below the associated versions of Python and RDKit, for which a minor version of Datamol has been tested during its whole lifecycle. It does not mean other combinations does not work but that those are not tested.

CI Status

The CI runs tests and performs code quality checks for the following combinations:

• The three major platforms: Windows, OSX and Linux.
• The two latest Python versions.
• The two latest RDKit versions.
