Forward is a python package that provides tools and utilities for foward
genetics studies. It is currently under the very early stages of development.
Documentation can be created from the sphinx docs (run make html from the
forward/docs directory.
Alternatively, a rendered version can be found here.
An demo of the interactive report can be found here. If you want to deploy your own version to share results with collaborators, follow the instructions from the docs.
The quick and easy way to serve an experiment is to run this script:
#!/usr/bin/env python
from tornado.wsgi import WSGIContainer
from tornado.httpserver import HTTPServer
from tornado.ioloop import IOLoop
import forward.backend
forward.backend.initialize_application("EXPERIMENT_NAME")
http_server = HTTPServer(WSGIContainer(forward.backend.app))
http_server.listen(5000) # Set the port here
IOLoop.instance().start()This package will go on pypy following the first official release. In the meantime, user's interested in the package should clone it and install it from the source. Because it's still changing very fast and some critical aspects are not fully implemented and tested, this package should not be used for real studies (yet). Note that the first official release is expected to be around the end of October 2015.
