BKchem
BKChem is a free (as in free software :o) chemical drawing program. It was conceived and written by Beda Kosata and is currently maintained by Reinis Danne. BKChem is written in Python, an interpreted and very nice programming language. This implies some of the program features:
- platform independence - BKChem should run on any platform that Python does.
- performance - as Python is interpreted language you should not expect the performance of a native code compiled application (in present days a very cheap tradeoff for platform independence). However BKChem should be pretty usable on all modern systems.
- BKChem is developed on GNU/Linux. It was however successfully used under WinXP and MacOS X. See https://gitorious.org/bkchem for hosted code.
