Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Diane Trout <di...@ghic.org> * Package name : pybigwig Version : 0.3.2 Upstream Author : Devon Ryan <r...@ie-freiburg.mpg.de> * URL : https://github.com/dpryan79/pyBigWig * License : Expat Programming Lang: Python Description : module for quick access to bigBed and bigWig files
This is a Python extension, written in C, for quick access to bigBed files, and access to and creation of bigWig files. I was planning on submitting this under the debian-med team. We found it as a dependency for deepTools https://deeptools.github.io/ though I haven't investigated packaging deepTools. bigBed and bigWig files are quite common in bioinformatics, it'd be nice to be able to use them directly. The one odd thing about the package is that upstream has the C code seperately available to build a library, but they also includes directly include in their python package and just add the C code to the setup.py code to build the extension.
