PySCF
基于 Python 的化学模拟框架 (PySCF) 是由 Python 提供支持的电子结构模块的开源集合。该软件包为量子化学计算和方法开发提供了一个简单、轻量且高效的平台。PySCF 可用于使用平均场和后平均场方法模拟分子、晶体和自定义哈密顿量的属性。为了确保易于扩展，PySCF 中的几乎所有功能都用 Python 实现，而计算关键部分则用 C 实现和优化。使用这种组合的 Python/C 实现，该包与现有的最佳 C 或基于 Fortran量子化学程序。除了核心库之外，PySCF 还支持丰富的扩展模块生态系统。

PySCF安装
pip 安装 PySCF
pip install pyscf #升级 pip install --upgrade pyscf
从PySCF 2.0版本开始，部分模块是独立开发的；
pip install pyscf[geomopt] 或 pip install pyscf[all]
conda 安装 PySCF
conda install -c pyscf pyscf
