Any potential clash with biopython
Hi,
I am a little concerned with the import statement "from bio import *" as it is too similar to that of using Biopython - "from Bio import *"
Hi @mauriceling,
Thanks for pointing this out. Are there specific name clashes you've experienced? I was trying to think through a scenario where the Seq language bio module may conflict with biopython or vice versa. I think biopython could be used successfully from within Seq if desired. e.g.
@python
def test_Bio():
from Bio import Seq as pySeq # importing from biopython
my_seq = pySeq.Seq("CATGTAGACTAG")
print(my_seq)
test_Bio()
Seq does not allow import *
from Python modules.
Hi @markhend
OK, perhaps it is not a clash but the name is definitely inviting errors for a dyslexic person like me.
