Questions about OSS projects.
I was wondering how to go about starting an open source project for doing routine biological problems? There is a plethora of scripts and a fairly large biopython project to back up anyone who tried, these however cater to the bioinformatics community and it loses the vast majority of the wet-lab scientists. How can someone who is used to writing small scripts and doing wet-lab work contribute to the open source community? Starting software projects seems to be the domain of people with much more experience and skill but there are some serious needs by people who do not have the skills to upkeep any software based project. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Newbie programmer question: How do parsers work?(Python examples?)
I was wondering exactly how you create a parser. I'm learning Python and I recently have come across this material. I'm interested in the method or art of writing a parser. If anyone has some python code to post for an abstract parser, or links to some informative tutorials, that would be great. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
