Acknowledgments

Inspired by Chauncey Garrett’s collection of scripts, this project was conceived as a Python-only CLI attempt at solving the same problem. Then more features were added (like markdown reports or image rendering), and finally was turned into a online service.

ESIgen is possible thanks to great open-source projects:

• Backend: CCLib, Jinja.
• Web UI: NGL, Flask, requests, HTML5 UP, Dropzone, clipboard.js, FileSaver.js, JSZip, CloudFormatter.
• CLI: PyMol.
• Installer: Conda Constructor.
