Hi, We needed to use pyBigWig for some of our processing.
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyBigWig/0.3.2 or https://github.com/dpryan79/pyBigWig Being able to read bigBed or bigWig and to be able to directly write bigwig files seemed useful to us. The package is MIT/Expat licensed I made a prototype package for us. http://woldlab.caltech.edu/woldlab-apt/pool/main/p/pybigwig/pybigwig_0. 3.2-0.dsc But the pyBigWig package includes the source of the authors libBigWig library: https://github.com/dpryan79/pyBigWig/tree/master/libBigWig And instead of building a shared library, they just add the C files to the python C extension. See: https://github.com/dpryan79/pyBigWig/blob/master/setup.py#L14 I believe this is a violation of Debian packaging policy, but this seems useful, what should one do in this case? Diane
