Intro
biothings_client is an easy-to-use Python wrapper to access any Biothings.api_
-based backend service. Currently, the following clients are available:
* gene - The client for MyGene.Info_, which provides access to gene objects.
* variant - The client MyVariant.Info_, which provides access to genetic variant objects.
* chem - The client for MyChem.Info_, which provides access to chemical/drug objects.
* disease - The client for MyDisease.Info_, which provides access to disease objects.
* geneset - The client for MyGeneset.Info_, which provides access to geneset/pathway objects.
* taxon - The client for t.biothings.io_, which provides access to taxon objects.

Requirements
python >=2.7 (including all python3 versions)
(It may still work under python 2.6, but it's not supported any more.)
requests_ (install using "pip install requests")
Optional dependencies
* `pandas <http://pandas.pydata.org>`_ (install using "pip install pandas") is required for returning a list of variant objects as `DataFrame <http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/dsintro.html#dataframe>`_.
* `requests_cache <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/requests-cache>`_ (install using "pip install requests_cache") is required for local caching of API requests.
Installation
Option 1
::
pip install biothings_client
Option 2
download/extract the source code and run::
python setup.py install
Option 3
