             SDWriter

A class for writing molecules to SD files.

Usage examples:

  1) writing to a named file:
     >>> writer = SDWriter('out.sdf')
     >>> for mol in list_of_mols:
     ...    writer.write(mol)

  2) writing to a file-like object: 
     >>> import gzip
     >>> outf=gzip.open('out.sdf.gz','w+')
     >>> writer = ForwardSDMolSupplier(outf)
     >>> for mol in list_of_mols:
      ...   writer.write(mol)

By default all non-private molecular properties are written to the SD file.
This can be changed using the SetProps method:
     >>> writer = SDWriter('out.sdf')
     >>> writer.SetProps(['prop1','prop2'])

NumMols(...)


NumMols( (SDWriter)arg1) -> int :
    Returns the number of molecules written so far.
    
    

    C++ signature :
        unsigned int NumMols(RDKit::SDWriter {lvalue})

SetProps(...)


SetProps( (SDWriter)arg1, (AtomPairsParameters)arg2) -> None :
    Sets the properties to be written to the output file
    
      ARGUMENTS:
    
        - props: a list or tuple of property names
    
    

    C++ signature :
        void SetProps(RDKit::SDWriter {lvalue},boost::python::api::object)

init(...)
(Constructor)


__init__( (AtomPairsParameters)arg1, (AtomPairsParameters)arg2) -> object :

    C++ signature :
        void* __init__(boost::python::api::object,boost::python::api::object {lvalue})

__init__( (object)arg1, (str)fileName) -> None :
    Constructor.
    
       If a string argument is provided, it will be treated as the name of the output file.
       If a file-like object is provided, output will be sent there.
    
    

    C++ signature :
        void __init__(_object*,std::string)

Overrides: object.__init__

reduce(...)

helper for pickle

Overrides: object.__reduce__: (inherited documentation)

close(...)


close( (SDWriter)arg1) -> None :
    Flushes the output file and closes it. The Writer cannot be used after this.
    
    

    C++ signature :
        void close(RDKit::SDWriter {lvalue})

flush(...)


flush( (SDWriter)arg1) -> None :
    Flushes the output file (forces the disk file to be updated).
    
    

    C++ signature :
        void flush(RDKit::SDWriter {lvalue})

write(...)


write( (SDWriter)self, (Mol)mol [, (int)confId=-1]) -> None :
    Writes a molecule to the output file.
    
      ARGUMENTS:
    
        - mol: the Mol to be written
        - confId: (optional) ID of the conformation to write
    
    

    C++ signature :
        void write(RDKit::SDWriter {lvalue},RDKit::ROMol {lvalue} [,int=-1])
