How to call module written with argparse in iPython notebook

问题

I am trying to pass BioPython sequences to Ilya Stepanov's implementation of Ukkonen's suffix tree algorithm in iPython's notebook environment. I am stumbling on the argparse component.

I have never had to deal directly with argparse before. How can I use this without rewriting main()?

By the by, this writeup of Ukkonen's algorithm is fantastic.

回答1:

I've had a similar problem before, but using optparse instead of argparse.

You don't need to change anything in the original script, just assign a new list to sys.argv like so:

if __name__ == "__main__":
    from Bio import SeqIO
    path = '/path/to/sequences.txt'
    sequences = [str(record.seq) for record in  SeqIO.parse(path, 'fasta')]
    sys.argv = ['-f'] + sequences
    main()

An alternative to use argparse in Ipython notebooks is passing a string to:

args = parser.parse_args() (line 303 from the git repo you referenced.)

Would be something like:

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(
        description='Searching longest common substring. '
                    'Uses Ukkonen\'s suffix tree algorithm and generalized suffix tree. '
                    'Written by Ilya Stepanov (c) 2013')

parser.add_argument(
        'strings',
        metavar='STRING',
        nargs='*',
        help='String for searching',
    )

parser.add_argument(
        '-f',
        '--file',
        help='Path for input file. First line should contain number of lines to search in'
    )

and

args = parser.parse_args("AAA --file /path/to/sequences.txt".split())

Edit: It works

I ended up using BioPython to extract the sequences and then editing Ilya Steanov's implementation to remove the argparse methods.

import imp
seqs = []
lcsm = imp.load_source('lcsm', '/path/to/ukkonen.py')
for record in SeqIO.parse('/path/to/sequences.txt', 'fasta'):
    seqs.append(record)
lcsm.main(seqs)

For the algorithm, I had main() take one argument, his strings variable, but this sends the algorithm a list of special BioPython Sequence objects, which the re module doesn't like. So I had to extract the sequence string

suffix_tree.append_string(s)

suffix_tree.append_string(str(s.seq))

which seems kind of brittle, but that's all I've got for now.

回答4:

I face a similar problem in invoking argsparse, the string '-f' was causing this problem. Just removing that from sys.srgv does the trick.

import sys
if __name__ == '__main__':
    if '-f' in sys.argv:
        sys.argv.remove('-f')
    main()

If you use iPython for testing, transforming argparse into class format can be a quick dummy solution.

class Args:
  data = './data/penn'
  model = 'LSTM'
  emsize = 200
  nhid = 200

args=Args()

Github page repo offers transformation web service. http://35.192.144.192:8000/arg2cls.html
I hope that it would be helpful for your testing. Jan 9/19 many bugs are fixed.

Transformation script. Python3 is required.

python3 [arg2cls.py] [argparse_script.py]

then copy & paste class format to replace argparse functions.
