Description: **pronto** : Python frontend to Ontologies

Overview
^^^^^^^^

Pronto is a python module to parse, create, browse and export ontologies
from some popular formats. For now, **obo** and **owl/xml** are available,
but more formats are to be added in the future (you can even add your
own to work with the current API).

Installation
^^^^^^^^^^^^

Installing with pip is the easiest:

.. code:: bash

pip install pronto # if you have the admin rights
pip install pronto --user # if you want to install it for only one user

If for some reason you do not like ``pip``, you can also clone the
repository and install it with the setup script (still requires
``setuptools``):

.. code:: bash

git clone https://github.com/althonos/pronto
cd pronto
python setup.py install # may also require admin rights

Usage
^^^^^

The ``Ontology`` class is the main entrypoint of ``pronto``. It can
be instantiated with a given ontology file (``.owl``, ``.ont`` or ``.obo``)
or from scratch, without any existing terms.

Open an ontology and get a term by accession:
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

.. code:: python

import pronto
ont = pronto.Ontology('path/to/file.obo')
term = ont['REF:ACCESSION']

Display an ontology in obo format and in json format:
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

.. code:: python

import pronto
ont = pronto.Ontology('https://net.path.should/work/too.owl')
print(ont.obo)
print(ont.json)

Merge two ontologies:
'''''''''''''''''''''

Example here uses the `NMR controlled vocabulary <http://nmrml.org/cv/>`_ and the
`HUPO-PSI MS controlled vocabulary <http://www.psidev.info/groups/controlled-vocabularies>`_

.. code:: python

import pronto
nmr = pronto.Ontology('http://nmrml.org/cv/v1.1.0/nmrCV.owl')
ms = pronto.Ontology('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HUPO-PSI/psi-ms-CV/master/psi-ms.obo')
ms.merge(nmr)

.. code:: python

>>> 'NMR:1000004' in ms
True
>>> ms.meta['coverage']
'Mass spectrometer output files and spectra interpretation'


Find ontology terms with children
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

.. code:: python

import pronto
ont = pronto.Ontology('path/to/file.obo')
for term in ont:
if term.children:
print(term)


Get all the transitive children of an ontology term
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

.. code:: python

import pronto
ont = pronto.Ontology('path/to/file.obo')
print(ont['RF:XXXXXXX'].rchildren())
