a python module to read and write phylip alignment files
Project description
About pyphylip
Read and write files in the phylip sequence format.
Installation
Because pyphylip has been packaged for pypi, it can be installed using:
$ pip install pyphylip
Usage
Decode a phylip sequence file given a source of lines in the file:
>>> with open('infile.phy') as f:
... headers, sequences = pyphylip.decode(f)
Encode some headers and corresponding sequences as a phylip sequence file:
>>> with open('outfile.phy', 'w') as f:
... f.write(pyphylip.encode(headers, sequences) + '\n')
