That does raise the question, how did @Connor1y stumbled upon this? |
|
I think we do not use this script anymore, but I also would like to know how @Connor1y has found this bug. |
|
This is also written in the python2 manner. |
|
Since the get_symmetry_dataset doesn't return symbols of operations, I need a standard list of point group operations and their corresponding symbols. Thanks for your work, I just happened to find that you have the list. Then someone found that in some cases -4 was always recognized as 2. That's why I found the bug :) |

Thanks @Connor1y. |

I am still confused about the long term action for this. Is the data not available in the C-API? Shouldn't we expose it on the python side? Ideally we should have only 1 central source for all hard-coded data. We can keep it in python for readability and synchronise it with the C-api using |
|
I think this file can be removed in the long term. The use case of this data that I supposed was providing symbols of Wyckoff positions, but now I think those derived information should be provided by other software package. |
|
I don't think we should offload too much to third-party software. I believe this would be within the scope of the project and we could open a |
|
I see, but at least about the information of this issue can be removed. What I meant is the site symmetry symbols of Wyckoff positions, and the symbols defined in this file are not enough for that. Currently, I don't have a good idea how to implement the site symmetry symbols of Wyckoff positions. |
