Problems with external tool package in UGENE (Read 5635 times)

Hi Olga

I exported the external tool package for UGENE in order to use python scripts. I set the path in settings to the external tool file (buttons at the right site are red) but don't get the python nodes in elements after a restart. I also set the path to the python executable file and installed the necessary packages (numpy, django).

Thanks in advance.

Hi!

What is your operating system?
Is it 32 or 64 bit?
Which UGENE package do you use?
Which external tools package do you use?

I'm working with archlinux, 64 bit.

UGENE version: 1.30.0

and i got the external tool package from ugene.net -> Downloads -> External Tools (filename: ext_tools_linux_64-bit)

Note that numpy and django modules are required for ChIP-Seq data analysis only (they are necessary for SeqPos tool). So, to use python for other tools in UGENE you may use a common Python2 version without the modules.

Please try to specify these standard python executables in the UGENE Application Settings (install Python2, if you don't currently have it). Does this work for you?

Hi Olga

I'm working with python2.7 (also python 3.6) and i've tried it without the modules but it's still not working. (Is there really a difference between working with installed modules or without?)

I got the executable path to python with the terminal command 'whereis python' and checked the properties of this file.

Can i create a 'element with script' or something like that to use python?

What output do you get in the terminal when you run "python --version"?

No in general case.
This is important only if you run Cistrome workflow. But it is not your case, as I understand.

You can create/use an element with command line tool. In this case you don't even need to set up python in the UGENE Application Settings.

Actually i would prefer to use python directly in ugene but i think to create an element with command line tools will also work if we cannot fix the problem.

There is currently no integration between python external tool and elements with command line tools. So, you'll have to run python directly in the current UGENE version.

As for the tool validation in the Application Settings, from the screenshot it seems everything is correct now.
