PyCC is a Python-based quantum chemistry package that emphasizes coupled cluster and related methods. Developed over the last five years, PyCC's purpose is to provide a clear reference implementation that will serve as a validation suite for production code, a platform for rapid prototyping and testing of new methods, and an educational resource for newcomers to the field. The package covers both closed- and open-shell single-determinant references in spatial- and spin-orbital formulations for the coupled cluster hierarchy through triples-including methods such as CC3, as well as for MP2 and CI methods. PyCC provides a broad range of molecular properties such as analytic first and second energy derivatives including gradients, Hessians, polarizabilities and atomic polar tensors, as well as non-energy-derivative properties, such as velocity-gauge atomic polar tensors and diagonal Born-Oppenheimer corrections, plus dynamic linear response functions, and excitation energies. The package includes a number of unique capabilities, such as real-time CC propagation (up through CC3), atomic axial tensors for simulating vibrational circular dichroism spectra at the MP2 and CI levels, and local correlation methods including perturbation-aware correlation domains. The code is designed around a shared Wavefunction base and a method-agnostic derivative layer that enables a new method to inherit the full property set once it supplies its reduced densities and their first-order responses. PyCC is fully open source and available on GitHub under the BSD 3-clause license.
