[Biopython-dev] BioPythonGUI: Graphical User Interface for BioPython

[Marshall Hampton]

Hi,

I think I'd mentioned this before on this list, but the BioPythonGUI post 
made me think I should again: people interested in GUIs and visualization 
with biopython should check out the Sage project:  www.sagemath.org.  I 
help maintain the inclusion of biopython in Sage as an optional package. 
Sage is a python-based computational platform that unites a great deal of 
mathematical software, and uses a web browser as its GUI.  This makes 
sharing code very easy.

I teach a bioinformatics course using Sage and biopython, which has been 
working very well.

I wrote a brief introduction that gives some idea of what is possible with 
the Sage/biopython combination:

...and the Sage wiki @interact examples might also give some ideas:
