[Biopython-dev] flex, setup.py and Bio.PDB.mmCIF (Bug 2619)

[Michiel de Hoon]

Hi Lenna,

Thanks for your reply.
Are you planning to continue your work on the PLY-based mmCIF parser?

Best,
-Michiel

Hi Michiel, 
I worked on that a bit early last year. See thread on this bug: 
https://redmine.open-bio.org/issues/2619


Namely, I determined that the flex headers aren't required to compile the flex-generated C, which is a great start. 
I also started work on a PLY-based pure Python reimplementation. Pull request here:


https://github.com/biopython/biopython/pull/33

I haven't looked at this code in quite a long time! Let me know if you have any questions about what I did and I will do my best to remember...


Cheers,
Lenna

With Biopython 1.61 now out, perhaps this is a good time to tackle Bio.PDB.mmCIF? This module uses flex to generate the parser; I would like to replace this with a plain C module, or perhaps with a pure-Python parser. This issue was previously discussed here:

Or is anybody else already looking at this module?



Best,
