Dear Rekha,
Just thought it might be worth mentioning that the c2x software
(https://www.c2x.org.uk/) provides a straightforward interface to spglib
and can read/write both CIF and Quantum espresso input files. One would
invoke it with the --primitive operation to do what you require. Best, Michael (not the same Michael that wrote c2x)

Good, you have already used the dev branch. Then you can check more details through 
ipython (exceute "ipython" in your terminal)
In the python IDE,
In [1]: import mcu

In [2]: mcu
Out[2]: <module 'mcu' from '/Users/fang/mcu/mcu/__init__.py'>

In [3]: mcu.CELL
Out[3]: mcu.cell.main.CELL

You can examine that the loaded MCU is indeed the one you used or not. rekha sharma <rekha1997...@gmail.com> 于2020年7月17日周五 下午1:01写道: Dear Sir, This is what I am getting with git log (posting only part of the output)

Spglib has a python interface and can be easily installed via Pip or conda.. But you need to make a cell tuple (from CIF) which contains the lattice information, this requires some minimal Python programming. My MCU [3] project supports CIF file as well as the QE output files and it has cell analysis functions using spglib. Within a few lines of code, you can get what you want in the desired format. For example, in a Python interpreter or script: import mcu
work = mcu.CELL(cif='conventional.cif')
primitive = work.to_prim_cell()
work.write_cif(prim_cell, filename='primitive') If you are interested in this, I can assist further. Hung Pham On Thu, Jul 16, 2020 at 11:57 AM rekha sharma <rekha1997...@gmail.com> wrote: Thank you very much sir,

I have few complex structures and it is not possible to handle on my system in the conventional form. Can you please advise any tool that can help me to convert a conventional cell cif file to a primitive cell file? I have tried with VEST (niggli cell reduction) but it does not work for me. Thank you very much. Rekha
