[MOBY-dev] gbrowse_moby and bioMoby Python webservices

[Yan Wong]

I've solved the problem and posted corrections to the CVS.

See changelog for listed modifications.

Here are the following steps to do to update your bioMoby Python server 
API:

In your bioMoby python package directory:

-First update your ZSI library with the ZSI library provided by this 
package:
 cd packages
 tar jxvf ZSI-1.5.0-patched-2
 cd ZSI-1.5.0-patched-2
 python setup.py install (with your fancy options if you have)

-Update your bioMoby Python library
 python setup.py install  (with options)

-Update your scripts by applying the rules:
however, you'll have to change some things in your script:

BEFORE:

from ZSI import dispatch
dispatch.AsCGI()

NOW:

from ZSI import dispatch
from bioMoby.webservice import TCBioMoby

dispatch.AsCGI(typesmodule=TCBioMoby)

or with mod_python:

dispatch.AsHandler(modules=myModule,), request=req, typesmodule=TCBioMoby)

TCBioMoby contains a class that serialize/deserialize the content inside 
the tag Body  into a MobyContent Object.

This will allow a Python webservice to deal with gbrowse_moby.
