Whats all this about?

If you told me from the start that in order to make an actually viable IUPAC naming python library, I would have to read pages upon pages of the a dense, chemistry-jargon filled document called the Blue Book, I would have screamed. However, nothing ventured nothing gained, and while I'm sure there is a library for this somewhere out there, wheres the fun in that?

While I have made a decent chunk of progress on it already, It recently clicked that instead of screaming about my changes into the endless abyss that is a git commit, why not blog about it!

The entire process has taken me through a journey of chemistry, which actually made me enjoy the subject a lot more than in my high school days. With that said, welcome to my summer project, i.e. IUPACker.

The journey so far.
