The ASE importer used now fails with most input files.
See e.g. Si2-bs.cell.txt
that returns
Generating castep_keywords.py ... hang on.
The castep_keywords.py contains abstractions for CASTEP input
parameters (for both .cell and .param input files), including some
format checks and descriptions. The latter are extracted from the
internal online help facility of a CASTEP binary, thus allowing to
easily keep the calculator synchronized with (different versions of)
the CASTEP code. Consequently, avoiding licensing issues (CASTEP is
distributed commercially by accelrys), we consider it wise not to
provide castep_keywords.py in the first place.
read_cell: Warning - Was not able to initialize CASTEP calculator.
This may be due to a non-existing "castep.keywords.py"
file or a non-existing CASTEP installation.
Original error message appears below:
Could not determine the version of your CASTEP binary
This usually means one of the following
* you do not have CASTEP installed
* you have not set the CASTEP_COMMAND to call it
* you have provided a wrong CASTEP_COMMAND.
Make sure it is in your PATH
Fallback-mode will be applied to provide at least the
geometric information contained in the *.cell file.
Warning: the keyword BS_KPOINT_LIST is not
interpreted in cell files
