Convert input format to YAML and front-end to Python
- Allow better integration with other codes.
- Support more robust input file parsing
Adding Nathan's comment to this issue: Run apbs from the pdb2pqr command line. Examine/rethink/re-implement pdb2pka/apbs.py, apbslib.py and _apbslib.so Create command line interface for inputs to apbs.
I'd still like to see this happen but it's not a very high priority.
Deprecate the current APBS input format and replace with YAML
Here's my plan for this:
- [ ] Develop a schema. YAML supports JSON-format schemas which can be registered online for others to use.
- [ ] Implement in standalone Python code that @intendo or someone can integrate later.
- [ ] Replace existing documentation with documentation of YAML-format input
Please let me know if you have any concerns.
