7 Pygr is an open source software project used to develop graph database
8 interfaces for the popular Python language, with a strong emphasis
9 on bioinformatics applications ranging from genome-wide analysis of
10 alternative splicing patterns, to comparative genomics queries of
11 multi-genome alignment data.

38 Note: While pygr's core functionality is solely dependent on a sane python environment, the aformentioned apps requirements must be installed if one wishes to utilize the apps modules and test code.
43 In theory, pygr should work on any platform that adequately supports python.
45 Here are the OS's we've successfully tested on:
55 Installing pygr is quite simple.
57 1) tar -xzvf pygr-0.3.tar.gz
59 3) python setup.py install
61 Once the test framework has completed successfully, the setup script
62 will install pygr into python's respective site-packages directory.
63 If you don't want to install pygr into your system-wide site-packages,
64 replace the "python setup.py install" command with
65 "python setup.py build". This will build pygr but not install it
70 Pygr contains several modules imported as follows:
71 from pygr import seqdb # IMPORT SEQUENCE DATABASE MODULE
73 If you did not install pygr in your system-wide site-packages, you
74 must set your PYTHONPATH to the location of your pygr build.
75 For example, if your top-level pygr source directory is PYGRDIR then
76 you'd type something like:
77 setenv PYTHONPATH PYGRDIR/build/lib.linux-i686-2.3
78 where the last directory name depends on your specific architecture.
80 Pygr has a myriad of applications, however, providing a comprehensive
81 description of its utility is out of the scope of this document (see
84 If you wish to test your install using the provided test scripts,
85 or simply want to give pygr an initial whirl, follow these steps:
87 1) Flesh out ~/.my.cnf, like so:
89 ------- cut here -------
91 socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
93 password = seaurchin007!
94 ------ cut here -------
97 3) mysql < HUMAN_SPLICE_03
