Project description
The official Python interface to the g:Profiler [1] toolkit for enrichment analysis of functional (GO and other) terms.
Installation on Linux using pip
The pip tool [4] is the recommended method of installing Python packages.
Optionally create a virtual environment [2]:

Install the software with pip, see [3] for instructions:
$ pip install gprofiler-official
Make sure that the installed gprofiler.py script is on your $PATH. When using a virtual environment as shown above, this should happen automatically.
Run an example query:

For detailed usage instructions, see:
$ gprofiler.py --help
Installation on Linux using the tarball
You may simply download the tarball from gprofiler-official PyPI page [5], extract it and use the gprofiler.py script without installation. The script is designed to be lightweight and not require any 3rd party modules. For detailed usage instructions, see:
$ gprofiler.py --help
