DFT Converter Modules
=====================

The DFT converter modules are maintained in the standalone
`dftkit <https://triqs.github.io/dftkit/latest>`_ package.
For the full API reference, see the
`dftkit Python API documentation <https://triqs.github.io/dftkit/latest/_autosummary/triqs_dftkit.html>`_.

The converters can still be imported from ``triqs_dft_tools.converters`` for
backward compatibility:
