TranslateCoords Error

[averagehat]

This error is from CentOS 7, using the InputFileList.csv and example commands defined in the readme.

-bash-4.2$ python ../phyloscanner_make_trees.py InputFileList.csv --auto-window-params 300,-700,1000,8300 --alignment-of-other-refs ../InfoAndInputs/2refs_HXB2_C.BW.fasta --pairwise-align-to B.FR.83.HXB2_LAI_IIIB_BRU.K03455
phyloscanner was called thus:
../phyloscanner_make_trees.py InputFileList.csv --auto-window-params 300,-700,1000,8300 --alignment-of-other-refs ../InfoAndInputs/2refs_HXB2_C.BW.fasta --pairwise-align-to B.FR.83.HXB2_LAI_IIIB_BRU.K03455
Warning: RAxML files are present in the working directory. If their names clash with those that phyloscanner will try to create, RAxML will fail to run. Continuing.

The result of running TranslateCoords.py alone:

Hi there. This error looks like python 3 is being used; phyloscanner is in python 2. I've just updated the code to allow you to choose which of your python versions will be used: once you update your code to the latest version (changing directory to where your code lives and running 'git pull'), instead of running $ phyloscanner make trees.py [input and options] you can run $ python phyloscanner make trees.py [input and options] replacing python by your desired executable, e.g. python2, python2.7, /usr/bin/python etc. Does that fix the problem?

Yes that resolved this error.
