Install
Option 1
pip install iphreeqc-py
Option 2
pip install git+https://github.com/stuart-nolan/iphreeqc-py.git@v0.3.1
Option 3
git clone -b 'v0.3.1' --single-branch https://github.com/stuart-nolan/iphreeqc-py.git
cd iphreeqc-py; python setup.py install
This python package intentionally does not install or come with an IPhreeqc instance. An IPhreeqc shared library must be built and installed by the user. An example IPhreeqc install is below.

See IPhreeqc.h and Var.h.
Example iphreeqc-3.7.3-15968.tar.gz install
Using Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS with gcc (Ubuntu 9.3.0-17ubuntu1~20.04) 9.3.0:
screen # optional, start screen session
tmpDir=$(mktemp -d)
cd $tmpDir
wget https://water.usgs.gov/water-resources/software/PHREEQC/iphreeqc-3.7.3-15968.tar.gz
tar xvf ./iphreeqc-3.7.3-15968.tar.gz
cd iphreeqc*/
# configure options used by the author
./configure --libdir=${HOME}/local/lib/iphreeqc-3.7.3-15968 --includedir=${HOME}/local/include/iphreeqc-3.7.3-15968 --docdir=${HOME}/local/share/doc/iphreeqc-3.7.3-15968 CFLAGS="-g -O2 -march=native" CXXFLAGS="-g -O2 -march=native"
ncp1=$(expr $(cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | wc -l) + 1)
make -j $ncp1 V=s 2>&1 | tee ipcBuild-$(date +"%Y%m%d-%H%M").log | grep -i '[^_\"a-z-]error[^_.a-z-]'
make install
Example iphreeqc-py tests
Assuming iphreeqc-py is installed and an IPhreeqc shared library has been configured, built, and installed as described above, try:
python -c "import iphreeqc; print(iphreeqc.ex1_mod(lib=\"${HOME}/local/lib/iphreeqc-3.7.3-15968/libiphreeqc.so\", database=\"${HOME}/local/share/doc/iphreeqc-3.7.3-15968/database/phreeqc.dat\"))"
python -c "from test_iphreeqc.test_ex2 import ex2; print(ex2(lib=\"${HOME}/local/lib/iphreeqc-3.7.3-15968/libiphreeqc.so\", database=\"${HOME}/local/share/doc/iphreeqc-3.7.3-15968/database/phreeqc.dat\"))"
Clean up
cd /tmp
rm -fr $tmpDir
exit # screen session
Notes
For the above examples, IPhreeqc.h and Var.h are in
${HOME}/local/include/iphreeqc-3.7.3-15968/
Last tested with iphreeqc-3.7.3-15968 and python 3.10.2 in a virtual environment on Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS, January 2022.
