get_species() 'error'?

[george-ts-github]

mp.get_species('YbTiO3') gives:
OrderedDict([('Yb', '1'), ('TiO3', '1')])
instead of :
OrderedDict([('Yb', '1'), ('Ti','1'), ('O','3')])

whereas
mp.get_species('YbMnO3') gives:
OrderedDict([('Yb', '1'), ('Mn', '1'), ('O', '3')])

This happens in the case of a few elements. Is there a workaround for this issue?

Hi! Technically, the correct answer for species in both cases should be OrderedDict([('Yb', '1'), ('TiO3', '1')]) and OrderedDict([('Yb', '1'), ('MnO3', '1')]). Because TiO3 and MnO3 are both anions. OrderedDict([('Yb', '1'), ('Ti','1'), ('O','3')]) and OrderedDict([('Yb', '1'), ('Mn', '1'), ('O', '3')]) should be the output "elements".
The species identification is based on a dictionary (ions_dictionary.json in resources folder). You can customize it to obtain the desired result.

Thanks Olga. Made it work by commenting the oxide species.
BTW, are there other functions, other than get_species, which could be used to call up individual elements(and not anions/cations/species) and their composition?

If you run

mp = ParserPipelineBuilder() \
    .set_regex_parser(RegExParser)\
    .build()

mp.parse(chem_string).to_dict()

the output of mp.parse will be dictionary, the attribute elements contain all the composition per element.
Sorry, I haven't updated the docs yet. Manuscript is on the way.
