WHAT IS PyPedal?
PyPedal is a Python package for pedigree analysis. PyPedal is a research tool for the use of the author and any others who might be interested in its use. It was originally developed by John B. Cole, and may be freely (re)distributed.
DOCUMENTATION
Limited (read preliminary) documentation is available in TeX and Postscript format in this repository. An HTML version of the manual also may be found at: http://pypedal.sourceforge.net/.
INSTALLING PyPedal
You should be able to use the usual setup.py installer that's included in the download.
You must have Python 2.7 (or later) installed in order to use PyPedal. PyPedal depends on features in 2.7 that are not present in earlier versions of Python. You may find Python for your operating system at: http://www.python.org/.
You must have the NumPy extension to Python installed. You can obtain NumPy as well as installation instructions, at: http://www.numpy.org/.
I've successfully used PyPedal in various flavors of RedHat Linux (including RHEL), Mandrake Linux, CentOS, and macOS (including Big Sur). I don't routinely use Windows, so I'm afraid I can't be too much help there.
