Hello,
I am using the get_irrep.py tool to determine the symmetry of the vibrational modes of the BaFCl system (space group 129).
Times ago it was working properly, recently I noted that the utility does not start, maybe there is a problem with the connection to the Bilbao Crystallographic Server (maybe related to the way the request is made).
Can you help me?
Thanks!

Re: get_irrep.py problem
Hello Enza,
I'm afraid the script does not work anymore - the old version of the Bilbao server would spit out an xml file which could be used by my script, but this stopped functioning a few years ago... I have not managed to extract information from them about getting another format by script... It must be possible, at worst by doing a web page request instead of xml, but I have not had time or tried.
If anyone has a little time to investigate (simplest would be to write them an email explaining what we need and used to have), it would be wonderful.
Best
Matthieu
