PySCeSToolbox
=============

This is a set of metabolic model analysis tools for PySCeS.

PySCeSToolbox currently provides tools for:

-  Generalised supply-demand analysis.
-  Symbolic metabolic control analysis and control pattern analysis.
-  Generating model schemas from metabolic models.
-  Distinguishing between thermodynamic and kinetic contributions
   towards reaction rate.
-  Interactive plotting

PySCeSToolbox was designed to be used within the Jupyter notebook, but
most of the core features should work in a normal Python script.

Documentation can be found at http://pyscestoolbox.readthedocs.io. While
all major tools have been documented, the documentation is still a work
in progress. A PDF copy of the documentation is also included in the
``site-packages/psctb/docs`` subfolder of the Python prefix where
PySCeSToolbox is installed.

Requirements
------------

An abbreviated list of requirements is given below. Python dependencies
will be installed automatically when installing PySCeSToolbox via pip or
with conda. For detailed operating system-specific instructions on
installing the requirements see the documentation at
`http://pyscestoolbox.readthedocs.io/ <http://pyscestoolbox.readthedocs.io>`__.

-  A Python 3.x installation (versions 3.6-3.8 recommended)
-  The full SciPy stack (see http://scipy.org/install.html)
-  PySCeS (see http://pysces.sourceforge.net/download.html)
-  Maxima (see http://maxima.sourceforge.net/download.html)
-  Jupyter Notebook (jupyter-core version in the 4.x.x series)

..

   | **Notes:**
   | Required packages should automatically download and install when
     using the commands specified under `Installation <#installation>`__
     below.
   | Maxima is only a requirement for SymCA.

Installation
------------

   **Note:** *Detailed installation instructions* are provided
   `here <https://pyscestoolbox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html>`__.

The latest release of PySCeSToolbox can be installed either on Anaconda
or from PyPI by running the following commands in the terminal (or
Windows equivalent).

Install on Anaconda:

.. code:: bash

   conda install -c pysces -c sbmlteam pyscestoolbox

Install from PyPi using ``pip``:

.. code:: bash

   pip install pyscestoolbox

To enable widgets you may need to run the following commands:

.. code:: bash

   jupyter nbextension enable --py --sys-prefix widgetsnbextension
   jupyter nbextension install --py --user d3networkx_psctb
   jupyter nbextension enable --py --user d3networkx_psctb

The latest development version can be installed from GitHub with:

.. code:: bash

   pip install git+https://github.com/PySCeS/PySCeSToolbox.git

For the pre-2015-11-11 version:

.. code:: bash

   pip install git+https://github.com/exe0cdc/ipython-d3networkx.git
   pip install git+https://github.com/PySCeS/PySCeSToolbox.git@f63b5ab660f103105750159885608a5f48de1551

Basic usage
-----------

To start a PySCeSToolbox session in a Jupyter notebook:

1. Start up the Jupyter Notebook using the ``jupyter notebook`` command
   in the terminal
2. Create a new notebook by clicking the ``New`` button on the top right
   of the window and selecting ``Python 3``
3. Run the following three commands in the first cell:

.. code:: python

   import pysces
   import psctb
   %matplotlib inline

Model files must be placed in ``~/Pysces/psc/`` if using Linux or macOS,
and in ``C:\Pysces\psc\`` for Windows (PySCeS version < 0.9.8) or
``C:\Users\<username>\Pysces\psc`` (PySCeS version 0.9.8+).

Important notices
-----------------

For readers of “Tracing regulatory routes in metabolism using generalised supply-demand analysis” published in `BMC Systems Biology <https://doi.org/10.1186/s12918-015-0236-1>`__
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To use the Jupyter notebook file included as “Additional file 5” in the
paper, please install the **latest version** of PySCeSToolbox specified
under `Installation <#installation>`__.

The two PySCeS MDL model files included as “Additional file 1” and
“Additional file 2” are required to run the notebook. They should be
renamed to “Hoefnagel_moiety_ratio.psc” and “Curien.psc”, respectively.
Further instructions are included within the notebook and on this page.

Changes:
~~~~~~~~

Because this project is undergoing development, future changes might
break older scripts. These types of changes will be kept to a minimum
and will be documented here.

Changes on 2017-02-09: Full cross compatibility
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

On 2017-02-09 Symca support via Maxima has been added to PySCeSToolbox
on Windows. A configuration file located at
``C:\Pysces\psctb_config.ini`` can be used to specify the path to
``maxima.bat``. By default, however, PySCeSToolbox should detect the
path to ``maxima.bat`` automatically if it has been installed using the
default options. This change should have no impact on any older scripts
save for making them platform independent.

Changes on 2017-02-02: Dropped IPython Notebook 3.x.x support
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

As of 2017-02-02 IPython Notebook 3.x.x support has been dropped in
favour of Jupyter 4.x.x. This should not affect the functioning of
scripts (save for those based on versions before that of 2015-11-11).
PySCeSToolbox will however require the Jupyter Notebook as of this date
in order to use its interactive features. Note that ``ipywidgets`` (an
automatically installed requirement for the Jupyter notebook) needs you
to run the command
“``jupyter nbextension enable --py  --sys-prefix widgetsnbextension``”
before enabling widgets in the notebook.

Changes on 2015-11-11: API changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Major changes were made on 2015-11-11 that might break scripts coded
before this date. These changes are related to the naming of methods and
fields. For scripts older than 2015-11-11 we recommend using an older
version of PySCeSToolbox (noted under `Installation <#installation>`__).
Manual porting of scripts is also possible with details of necessary
changes outlined under `Porting scripts to latest
version <#porting-scripts-to-latest-version>`__.

Porting scripts to latest version
---------------------------------

Method and variable names and the analysis objects they belong to that
were changed on 2015-11-11 are documented in the tables below. To port
any older script simply change the old name of any method/variable to
the new name.

paramenter of ``do_symca`` is set to ``True``
