  p$^\dagger$q is a C++ accelerated Python library designed to generate
equations for many-body quantum chemistry methods and to realize
proof-of-concept implementations of these equations for rapid prototyping.
Central to this library is a simple interface to define strings of
second-quantized creation and annihilation operators and to bring these strings
to normal order with respect to either the true vacuum state or the Fermi
vacuum. Tensor contractions over fully-contracted strings can then be evaluated
using standard Python functions ({\em e.g.}, \np's einsum). Given one- and
two-electron integrals these features allow for the rapid implementation and
assessment of a wide array of many-body quantum chemistry methods.
