Bug#846663: ITP: pybigwig -- module for quick access to bigBed and bigWig files



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Diane Trout <diane@ghic.org>

* Package name    : pybigwig
  Version         : 0.3.2
  Upstream Author : Devon Ryan <ryan@ie-freiburg.mpg.de>
* URL             : https://github.com/dpryan79/pyBigWig
* License         : Expat
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description     : module for quick access to bigBed and bigWig files

 This is a Python extension, written in C, for quick access to bigBed files,
 and access to and creation of bigWig files.

I was planning on submitting this under the debian-med team.

We found it as a dependency for deepTools https://deeptools.github.io/
though I haven't investigated packaging deepTools.

bigBed and bigWig files are quite common in bioinformatics, it'd be nice to be
able to use them directly.

The one odd thing about the package is that upstream has the C code seperately
available  to build a library, but they also includes directly include in their
python package and just add the C code to the setup.py code to build the
extension.
