+PyQuante (Sourceforge Project Page) is an open-source suite of programs for
+developing quantum chemistry methods. The program is written in the Python
+programming language, but has many "rate-determining" modules also written
+in C for speed. The resulting code, though not as fast as Jaguar, NWChem,
+Gaussian, or MPQC, is much easier to understand and modify. The goal of this
+software is not necessarily to provide a working quantum chemistry program
+(although it will hopefully do that), but rather to provide a well-engineered
+set of tools so that scientists can construct their own quantum chemistry
+programs without going through the tedium of having to write every low-level
+routine.
