[DFTB-Plus-User] Socket Interface

Hello Maxim,

there are python driver stubs in the autotests, look for prerun.py in the

autotest/sockets/diamond
autotest/sockets/H2O

directories for ip-address and unix file based control along with the
associated dftb_in.hsd files. These match the the relevant parts of the
i-PI protocol, so might be of use.

Regards

Ben
