Packaging the code for use

[souravsingh]

Packaging the code would be quite handy for other users to use the code for their analyses. Here are some possible approaches towards it-

1. Package to PyPI for wide usage
2. Package to bioconda channel for use by scientists(bioinformaticians and such)
3. Package to Galaxy toolset(This would be easily done once 2) is done.)

Since bioinformaticians are our target audience, I'm aiming for a bioconda channel.

+1 for PyPI!

Are PyPi and bioconda mutually exclusive options?

[souravsingh]

Yes. PyPI packages are accessible through the website- https://pypi.org/ and requires pip for installing the packages. Bioconda requires conda to install the packages. I am personally inclined towards bioconda, but I don't have a problem with PyPI.
