simple chemistry in python

[Astan Chee]

Hi,
Im looking for a python module to do simple chemistry things. Things
like, finding the name of elements given the atomic number (and vice
versa); what state the given matter is in depending on certain
parameters; maybe even color of certain elements or even calculating the
result of combining certain elements.
I was looking for something simple, but everything I see seems to be a
full blown chemistry set.
I know I can probably spend a day doing this one element at a time, but
I was wondering if there is already something like this done in a small
scale?
Thanks for any information
Astan

If you are familiar with parsing XML, much of the data you need is
stored in the following file:

This ref is incredibly cool. Is there a guide or
meta-index for similar open scientific data repositories
(not web search forms: downloadable complete data)?

Wow, that is the jackpot.
Is that color node supposed to be the actual color of the element? or just
representation?

Representation. There are certain de facto standards, such as blue for
nitrogen and so on. Google "CPK colors" for the origin of some of
these.

Thanks again
