The PythonCyc module provides a Python 3.5+ interface to a Pathway Tools application running either locally or remotely. This module has been designed to work on the three platforms supported by Pathway Tools: Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. Pathway Tools version 18.5 or above is needed to use this module.
This release has been tested under Python 3.5 and 3.7 under Linux and Mac OSX. It has not been tested under Windows, or with IPython or Jupyter.
The original PythonCyc 1.0 for Python 2.6-2.7 is still available
Please, consult the HTML file tutorial.html under the doc directory of this package for the installation instruction of PythonCyc and how to start Pathway Tools to be able to use PythonCyc.
