Module: __init__ Bio/Fasta/__init__.py

Fasta package

This module provides code to work with FASTA-formatted sequences.

Classes: Record Holds FASTA sequence data. Iterator Iterates over sequence data in a FASTA file. Dictionary Accesses a FASTA file using a dictionary interface. RecordParser Parses FASTA sequence data into a Record object. SequenceParser Parses FASTA sequence data into a Sequence object.

_Scanner Scans a FASTA-format stream. _RecordConsumer Consumes FASTA data to a Record object. _SequenceConsumer Consumes FASTA data to a Sequence object.

Functions: index_file Index a FASTA file for a Dictionary.

index_file
  index_file 
index_file (
        filename,
        indexname,
        rec2key=None,
        )

index_file(filename, indexname, rec2key=None)

Index a FASTA file. filename is the name of the file. indexname is the name of the dictionary. rec2key is an optional callback that takes a Record and generates a unique key (e.g. the accession number) for the record. If not specified, the sequence title will be used.

Exceptions   
KeyError, "duplicate key %s found" % key
KeyError, "empty sequence key was produced"
ValueError, "%s does not exist" % filename
Classes   
Dictionary

Record

Holds information from a FASTA record.

RecordParser

Parses FASTA sequence data into a Record object.

SequenceParser

Parses FASTA sequence data into a Sequence object.

_RecordConsumer

Consumer that converts a FASTA record to a Record object.

_Scanner

Scans a FASTA-formatted file.

_SequenceConsumer

Consumer that converts a FASTA record to a Sequence object.
