Ideal outcome of DNA-scanner project #29

Open eoberortner opened 4 years ago

It would be great to have a python library that enables accessing the vendor APIs in a uniform way.

I can see the following required steps for an end-user of the DNA-scanner python library.

  1. A dependency on the DNA-scanner must be specified in the "requirements.txt" of a Python project
  2. Import the DNA-scanner in the Python code, e.g., from dna_scanner_lib import DNAScanner
  3. Use the DNAScanner, e.g., DNAScanner.screenComplexity(array_of_sequences, array_of_vendors)

Does this make sense?

The Pinger library in the Project will be the component communication with the vendor APIs. We developed a design for easy adding other vendor APIs. The Pinger will be a Library that can be used independent of the rest of the project.

You can see this when we pushed our code next week. I would suggest that you take a look at it then and we talk about it again if necessary.

Sounds exciting! Looking forward to seeing it soon! Just want to make sure that the "Pinger library" will be available independently from the DNA-scanner and its web-components.
