Introduction

pySBOL provides Python interfaces and their implementation for Synthetic Biology Open Language (SBOL). The current version of pySBOL implements SBOL Core Specification 2.1.0. The library provides an API to work with SBOL objects, the functionality to read GenBank, FASTA, and SBOL version 1 and 2 documents as XML/RDF files, to write GenBank, FASTA, and SBOL version 1 and 2 documents, and to validate the correctness of SBOL 2 documents. This is a Python binding for C/C++ based libSBOL. Currently, pySBOL supports Python version 2.7 and 3.6 only. pySBOL is made freely available under the Apache 2.0 license.

To install, go to Installation Page.
