[MMTK] creating new ForceField

[Andrey Khavryuchenko]

Hi,

I'm trying to create new force field using PyQuante package.

As far as I've got from reading docs and source code, I have to define
'evaluatorTerms' in the class, derived from ForceField.  However, there's
no documentation on this method.

Studying the source code and provided examples show that this method has to
return a list of evaluators.

But my code never ever reaches the evaluator....

def py_evaluator():
    print 'here'
    return

class RhfForceField(ForceField.ForceField):
    def __init__(self):
        ForceField.ForceField('Restricted Hartree Fock')
        return
        
    def evaluatorTerms(self, universe, subset1, subset2, global_data):
        return [py_evaluator]
    pass

I will dig further in the C code, but may be I can get help here:

 1. What's the expected interface for the energy term evaluator?
 2. Should it be only implemented in C?
 3. If not, what's the proper way of doing it in Python?

Thanks in advance.
