Python is a software language.

Website: http://www.python.org/

Installed versions:  2.5, 2.6 (default version), and 2.7, Anaconda Python 1.9.2.  The 2.6 and 2.7 installations have the SciPy, NumPy, MySQL, and BioPython modules installed.

Licensing:  Python license.

Note on installing BioPython with non-admin privileges:

python setup.py build

python setup.py install –home=/software/python/2.7.2

HOWEVER: using this puts the package in /software/python/2.7.2/lib/python instead of /software/python/2.7.2/lib/python2.7/site-packages

–> need to move the 3 directories over manually to the correct place.

determine current version of BioPython:

python

>>> import Bio
>>> print Bio.__version__
1.61
