Chemists bitten by Python scripts: How different OSes produced different results during test number-crunching

Re: Fixing the symptom…

It appears they do now - from the linked paper...

To overcome this issue, we amended the script to include a line in the read_gaussian_outputfiles subroutine that forces sorting before pairing and a longer file-matching check function that alerts the user when there is a potential file-matching issue (see the Supporting Information).(17) We have tested the revised script across platforms (i.e., MacOS, LINUX, and Windows) running different versions of Python, and it yields consistent results.
