What is wxMol?

wxMol.py is a stoichiometric calculator. Under the hood it's a simple wrapper for python's eval() function. It recognizes element symbols and formula notation. Element symbols are replaced by the corresponding atomic mass and the shortcuts of formula notation (postfix and prefix factors, eg. CaSO4+2H2O) are expanded to give mathematically correct syntax.

The converted input is presented along with the result, so that you can check if the calculation was done according to your expectations.

molcalc.py contains the parser function and acts as a shell version of the program. wxMol.py is the graphical user interface, built with the popular wxPython Library.
