Introduction
------------

**CIRpy** is a Python interface for the `Chemical Identifier Resolver (CIR)`_ by the CADD Group at the NCI/NIH.

CIR is a web service that will resolve any chemical identifier to another chemical representation. For example, you can
pass it a chemical name and and request the corresponding SMILES string::

    >>> import cirpy
    >>> cirpy.resolve('Aspirin', 'smiles')
    'C1=CC=CC(=C1C(O)=O)OC(C)=O'

CIRpy makes interacting with CIR through Python easy. There's no need to construct url requests and parse XML responses
— CIRpy does all this for you.

Installation
------------

Install CIRpy using::

    pip install cirpy

Alternatively, try one of the other `installation options`_.

Documentation
-------------

Full documentation is available at http://cirpy.readthedocs.org.

Contribute
----------

- Feature ideas and bug reports are welcome on the `Issue Tracker`_.
- Fork the `source code`_ on GitHub, make changes and file a pull request.

Acknowledgements
----------------

All of CIRpy's functionality relies on the fantastic `CIR web service`_ created by the CADD Group at the NCI/NIH.
