What is python-bioblend

BioBlend is a Python library for interacting with CloudMan and Galaxy’s API. BioBlend is supported and tested on: · Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3 and 3.4 · Galaxy release_14.02 and later. Conceptually, it makes it possible to script and automate the process of cloud infrastructure provisioning and scaling via CloudMan, and run‐ ning of analyses via Galaxy. In reality, it makes it possible to do things like this: · Create a CloudMan compute cluster, via an API and directly from your local machine: · Reconnect to an existing CloudMan instance and manipulate it · Interact with Galaxy via a straightforward API
Although this library allows you to blend these two services into a cohesive unit, the library itself can be used with either service irrespective of the other. For example, you can use it to just manipulate CloudMan clusters or to script the interactions with an instance of Galaxy running on your laptop.
This package installs the library for Python 2.
