A follow-up post to the previous entry. I show a small pavement.py script full of stubs as a proof-of-concept code.

Paving the Way to Automation
Posted in Automation, Future Work, tagged Automation, Future Work, paver on January 21, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I discuss the possibility of using Paver as an automation tool for nightly builds. Since it allows task dependencies and basic python framework (as opposed to Make-fu) it seems like the perfect fit for doing all of the database updating.

I discuss the method, reasoning and implementation of the annotation database, AnnotBase. I use multiple pickle files to save each individual record. This may pose a problem later on when trying to do reverse lookups but I’ll cross that bridge if the need arises.

Hi all, I’ve created this blog to document, discuss and solicit suggestions for my programming/research project MegaMicroBase. This project is intended to be code that will maintain a microarray annotation database. Currently it is written exclusively in Python but that may change when I actually start building tools for automated data analysis. So, what separates my [...]
