symmetry(3)

symmetry3

The symmetry library the symmetry library implements a few basic ideas in group theory. namely, it provides a character table for a given point group. currently it does not support the cubic point groups (e.g. $t_d$ or $i_h$). the only classes intended for public consumption are the charactertable and pointgroup classes. pointgroup stores the schoenflies symbol for a point group, and can generate a charactertable on the fly. a charactertable contains irreduciblerepresentation's and symmetryoperation's.
