This PR resolves the long-standing limitation where dpdata would raise
RuntimeError("ibrav > 1 not supported yet.")when parsing Quantum Espresso SCF files with Bravais lattice types other than simple cubic (ibrav=1) or free lattice (ibrav=0).Problem
Users encountered errors when trying to load QE files with common lattice types like:
This occurred for any ibrav value > 1, including commonly used types like ibrav=8 (simple orthorhombic).
Solution
Extended the
get_cell()function indpdata/qe/scf.pyto support all standard Quantum Espresso lattice types (ibrav 1-14):The implementation:
Testing
Added comprehensive test suite covering:
Example usage that now works:
Fixes #408.
