Hello all;
I'm very happy to announce the release of biopython-corba 0.3.0.
Biopython-corba provides a python library implementing the BioCorba
specificiations, and allows you to easily make Biopython objects
available through CORBA, and access CORBA objects through a
Biopython-like interface.
As normal, the release is available from the download page:
http://biopython.org/Download/
This version of biopython-corba reimplements the library for the new
BioCorba interfaces worked out at BOSC/ISMB this year (the Tivoli
IDLs).
There are many good reasons to try out this module, including:
=> Allows you to easily make Biopython objects like GenBank
Dictionaries available as CORBA servers, which allows people to
access them across a network from their language of choice.
=> You can access BioCorba objects through a Biopython-like
interface, so if you understand biopython you can understand
biopython-corba.
=> Works interchangably with omniORBpy, ORBit-python, and Fnorb ORB
implementations, so you can pick your python ORB o' choice.
=> Includes documentation and example scripts to help get started.
=> It would make Brad happy :-)
As always, I'm more than happy to answer any questions here or on
the dev mailing list.
Thanks for listening and enjoy!
Brad
