This library is intended to make dealing with secondary metabolite annotations as provided by databases like MIBiG or tools like antiSMASH easier from within python programs.

At the moment, it just supports the GenBank file format used by MIBiG and antiSMASH, not the MIBiG JSON format. Support for this is planned.

SecMet is a normal Python module, so you can install it from a local repository checkout using python setup.py install, or from PyPi using pip install secmet.

Note that secmet is still in early development, and not fit for production use.

Because I perfer to work with markdown and Python forces me to use reStructuredText, a Makefile helps in order to create a new PyPi release. The pandoc utility is required. Run the Makefile using make release to create a new secmet library sdist.
