  • bowtie2-build python error

    Hi

    We installed bowtie2-2.3.2 on an ubuntu system.
    Running bowtie2-build we received the following error that I think indicates problems with the python installation??

    ./bowtie2-build /home/charlesh/binf/sto1/seq/genome/chlre/chlre5.5/Creinhardtii_281_v5.0.fa cre_281_v5.0
    File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site.py", line 182
    file=sys.stderr)
    ^
    SyntaxError: invalid syntax

    Suggestions?

    Which python version are you using?

      Python 3.4.3 and 2.7 are installed on the system.

      Python 3.4.3 appears to be the default.

      charlesh@~/binf/src/bowtie2-2.3.2 => python
      Python 3.4.3 (default, Nov 17 2016, 01:08:31)
      [GCC 4.8.4] on linux

      I downloaded what I believe was the binary for bowtie2:
      bowtie2-2.3.2-linux-x86_64.zip

      however, for both bowtie2 and bowtie2-build they are not binaries I can see the python code.

        The line in question is: print("\nRemainder of file ignored", file=sys.stderr)

        This is valid syntax in python 3 but not 2. It looks like bowtie is using python 2.7 but it is trying to load modules for 3.4.3.

        What does `/usr/bin/env python --version` print? What are your PATH and PYTHONPATH environment variables?

          Here is what /env is set to:

            Removing "/usr/lib/python3.4/:/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages" from the start of your PYTHONPATH should fix your immediate problem.

            The problem is that bowtie2-build is using python 2.7 (because the first line is #!/usr/bin/env python). However, your PYTHONPATH is causing it to try to load python 3 libraries.

            Alternatively, you could make sure that the location of python 3 is on your PATH variable. I'm not sure why `/usr/bin/env python` is launching 2.7 while in your earlier post you indicated that just typing `python` launches 3.4

              Moving the python3.4 info into PATH and out of PYTHONPATH solved the problem.

              Thanks!

                Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
                by seqadmin


                Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
