BioPython

A set of modules for bioinformatics in Python.

Installation on your own computers

  • We work with the 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 version of Python. Make sure you have that, and not Python 2.
  • Follow the instructions on the BioPython project page (google)
  • On a Ubuntu-flavor linux all you need is pip3 install biopython
  • Biopython is also installed in Ville

Let's check all works - the latest version of BioPython is 1.73 maybe you see a different one on your machine:


In [1]:
import Bio
print(Bio.__version__) #This is two underscores not one


1.73
