Notes on Options ================ .. comment warning:: Python naming practices of file_that_includes_function.function_name() are followed below. In psi4 input files, it is only necessary to call the function name alone. That is, use ``energy('scf')``, not ``driver.energy('scf')``. .. note:: The Python options referred to in the :ref:`sec:psithonFunc` section below are placed as arguments to a Python function (like ``energy()``), not in ``set`` blocks or commands. .. comment and indexed in :ref:`apdx:options_py` .. note:: All |PSIfour| keyword names and values are insensitive to case, both those that are placed in ``set`` blocks and as Python function arguments. The one exception is documented for the *subset* option in the :py:func:`~wrappers.database` function, where case structure must match the database file. .. _`op_py_bool`: .. _`op_py_boolean`: .. note:: Boolean options can be specified by ``yes``, ``on``, ``true``, or ``1`` for affirmative and ``no``, ``off``, ``false``, or ``0`` for negative, all insensitive to case. .. _`op_py_dertype`: .. note:: The derivative level type for :py:func:`~driver.optimize` and :py:func:`~driver.frequency` functions can be specified by ``energy``, ``none``, or ``0`` for 0th derivative, ``gradient``, ``first``, or ``1`` for 1st derivative, and ``hessian``, ``second``, or ``2`` for 2nd derivative. For finite difference, as opposed to analytic, derivatives, the :term:`POINTS ` option can be increased to ``5`` for greater accuracy at increased cost. .. _`op_py_function`: .. note:: Function option for the Psithon function called by the current function; the default is usually :py:func:`~driver.energy`. See Sec. :ref:`sec:intercalls` for a fuller description. Note that the value of the keyword is a Python object and so is not wrapped in quotes like a string. .. _`op_py_molecule`: .. note:: The molecule to be acted upon by the current function; the default is the nearest preceeding molecule declared in a ``molecule name {...}`` block. Note that the value of this keyword (``name`` in the example) is a Python object and so is not wrapped in quotes like a string.
