python / HTSeq installation problem

10-14-2010, 03:01 AM

Hello,

I'm trying to install the python module HTSeq (HTSeq-0.4.5p1.tar.gz downloaded from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/HTSeq) on our computer cluster (running redhat linux 64bit architecture, and python 2.6.3).

I came across the following error after 'setup.py build':

Code:

tar -xzvf HTSeq-0.4.5p1.tar.gz
cd HTSeq-0.4.5p1
python setup.py build
running build
running build_py
running build_ext
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 62, in <module>
    'scripts/htseq-count',

  File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/setuptools/command/build_ext.py", line 85, in get_ext_filename
KeyError: '_HTSeq'
[dberaldi@frontend02 HTSeq-0.4.5p1]$

Any idea how to fix it?

Many thanks in advance!

From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data

by SEQadmin2

Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.

The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
