Quickstart
Install aflow from the python package index:
pip install aflow
Or alternatively install aflow from conda using:
conda install -c conda-forge aflow
Open an ipython notebook or terminal and execute the query from the
paper:
from aflow import *

result = search(batch_size=20
).select(K.agl_thermal_conductivity_300K
).filter(K.Egap > 6).orderby(K.agl_thermal_conductivity_300K, True)

# Now, you can just iterate over the results.
for entry in result:
print(entry.Egap)
aflow supports lazy evaluation. This means that if you didn’t ask
for a particular property during the initial query, you can just ask for
it later and the request will happen transparently in the background.



Python 2 Support
Although the package was originally designed to be compatible with both
python 2 and python 3, python 2 has reached the end of its life. As
such, we don’t guarantee anymore that it will work.
