database disk image is malformed

[gcolmenarejo]

Hi

I'm trying to get a molecule from its name by using the python chembl web resources client:

from chembl_webresource_client.new_client import new_client as nc
...
nc.molecule.filter(pref_name = nams[i])

I get and error message that says:

DatabaseError: database disk image is malformed

Is there any issue with the services in Chembl? Thanks

Hi, i found a solution for this error, is a cache problem, you can reset your cache for the chembl API or you can simply do:
Settings.Instance().CACHING=False
