[Biopython-dev] BioPythonGUI: Graphical User Interface for BioPython

[Marshall Hampton]

Hi,

I think I'd mentioned this before on this list, but the BioPythonGUI post 
made me think I should again: people interested in
GUIs and visualization with biopython should check out the Sage project: 
www.sagemath.org.  I help maintain the inclusion of
biopython in Sage as an optional package. Sage is a python-based 
computational platform that unites a great deal of
mathematical software, and uses a web browser as its GUI.  This makes 
sharing code very easy.

I teach a bioinformatics course using Sage and biopython, which has been 
working very well.

I wrote a brief introduction that gives some idea of what is possible with 
the Sage/biopython combination:

...and the Sage wiki @interact examples might also give some ideas:

PS. Sorry if this gets sent twice, I think I messed up the list address 
the first time.
