Overview

The two main libraries to interact with the Openfractal instances are:

  • qcportal: a Python client for Openfractal (QCFractal instance).
  • qcfractalcompute: a Python client for Openfractal (QCFractal instance) that can launch a worker (also called a manager).

For now the Python library of this repo openfractal-client does not contain any particular logic. The plan is to use it if we need custom logic related to openfractal moving forward.

Next Steps

  • Installation: Install the openfractal-client and its dependencies
  • Tutorials: Work with datasets, execute manager, export generated data.
