The following script loads a molecule geometry from a file (a text file containing the element names and atom coordinates) and then calculates the closed shell restricted Hartree-Fock wave function of it.

from ct8k import *
from ct8kpy import *

SetOutputUnits( ENERGY_ElectronVolts, DISTANCE_Angstrom )
LoadBasisLibrary( "../basis_lib/cc-pVDZ.libmol" )

def main():
    Atoms = FAtomSet()
    Atoms.AddAtomsFromXyzFile( "../molecules/ethene.xyz", "cc-pVDZ" )

    (Converged, Energy) = HartreeFock( Atoms )[:2];
    assert( Converged )
    print "Got HfResult Energy: ", ConvertEnergy( Energy )

main()

The output of this script then looks like:

In the next step, additionally to the Hartree-Fock calculation, a CEPA(0) correlation calculation is performed. In this script the additional return values of the HartreeFock function of type FHartreeFockResult and FHartreeFockParams are required for the following calculations:

from ct8k import *
from ct8kpy import *

SetOutputUnits( ENERGY_Hartree, DISTANCE_Angstrom )
LoadBasisLibrary( "../basis_lib/cc-pVDZ.libmol" )

def main():
    Atoms = FAtomSet()
    Atoms.AddAtomsFromXyzFile( "../molecules/ethene.xyz", "cc-pVDZ" )

    (Converged, Energy, HfResult, HfParams) = HartreeFock( Atoms );
    assert( Converged )

    (Converged, Energy) = Cepa( HfResult, HfParams.pIntegrator,
        Method = METHOD_Cepa0, EnergyThreshold = 1e-6 )[:2]
main()
There are some options to control the calculations. They can easily be supplied by the optional arguments of the calculation functions (for example, EnergyThreshold=1e-6 on the CEPA-calculation here). Aviable options are documented in ct8kpy.py. This script produces the following output:
