For example, an equation might look like: 0.34 + (0.78*CLOGP) - (0.018*HBA) - (0.015*HB_TOT) - (0.11*MM_HADCA) - (0.017*MM_QON) + (0.012*VDW_POL_AREA) where the variables are keys in the Property manager. This was quite easy to implement in Python, and we ...

Our primary goal for Python in the future is to be able to use it more often, even in performance-critica...
