QCEngine

The QCEngine Adapter enables calculations using all QCEngine supported programs. This engine is used as a fallback for when qcop does not have an Adapter of its own for a given program. Using QCEngine as a fallback can be deactivated by passing qcng_fallback=False to qcop.compute().

qcop.adapters.qcengine.QCEngineAdapter

QCEngineAdapter(external_program: str)
