Frowns is a chemoinformatics toolkit geared toward
rapid development of chemistry related algorithms. It is written
in almost 100% Python with a small portion written in C++.
Frowns is loosely based on the PyDaylight API that Andrew Dalke wrote
to wrap the daylight C API. In some cases programs written using
PyDaylight will also work under Frowns with a few minor changes.
A good overview of PyDaylight is available at here.
A good place to look at what Smarts and Smiles are is at the daylight
web site located at http://www.daylight.com/
