libsbgnpy 0.2.2

libsbgnpy : Python library for SBGN

Python library to work with the Systems Biology Graphical Notation (SBGN). This library is based on the SBGN XML schema and supports reading, writing and validation of SBGN files.

The initial library was generated using generateDS. Additional utility functions for reading, writing, and rendering SBGN documents are provided.

Documentation with examples is available at https://libsbgn-python.readthedocs.io.

Software using libsbgnpy

• Mimoza takes a model in SBML format and visualizes it in several formats (downloadable as a COMBINE archive).

Python Language Bindings

The python language bindings were created from the XML schema using generateDS and than adapted to include GlyphClasses and ArcClasses.:

/usr/local/bin/generateDS.py -o "libsbgn.py" -s "libsbgnSubs.py" SBGN.xsd

The necessary constraints for GlyphClasses, ArcClasses and Languages were added and some utility functions created.
