I am happy to find you at Git. Because I'm in china, where Twitter&Google is shielded, so that it is not convenient to get access to you by the other routht.
Pymatgen looks like very powerful, so I wonder to know if pymaten can be used for steel-making, for some calculations for the equilibrium between steel(Fe,C,Si,Mn,P,S....) and slag (CaO,SiO2,MgO....).
There is already a software named FactSage that contains professional database for oxides, But the price is too high. Thus I have an idea to build functions with python myself, but I know some others must have done some work. so I find pymatgen and come here。

Dear researcher,
I'm using the powerful Pymatgen tool. There are some outdates import-codes still in the codes above, Could you help to change.
MPRester is in pymatgen.ext.matproj and PhaseDiagram, PDPlotter are in pymatgen.analysis.phase_diagram now. My version of pymatgen is 2019.2.24.
I tried those lines:
from pymatgen.ext.matproj import MPRester
from pymatgen.analysis.phase_diagram import PhaseDiagram,PDPlotter
Best,

Dear pymatgen users,

It seems the library 'pdanalyzer' no longer exists, since I face to error while using 'from pymatgen.phasediagram.pdanalyzer import PDAnalyzer'. Any comment from where to import this library?

Regards

It is now integrated into the PhaseDiagram class

Thank you!
