Python port of g:ProfileR, the R wrapper for the g:Profiler functional enrichment tool.
Just like the R wrapper, it simply sends an HTTP request to http://biit.cs.ut.ee/gprofiler/ and parses the text-only version of the results.
You can simply install python-gprofiler by doing
pip install gprofiler
It requires requests and pandas.
The ability to fetch a .png representation of the results is not implemented
as I don't see a use for it. Biogrid interaction graphs are also not parsed
since I never use those and am not sure how to parse them correctly.
Once the package is installed, here is an example of what to expect when running it in IPython:
In [1]: from gprofiler import gprofiler
In [2]: enrichment = gprofiler(['Klf4', 'Pax5', 'Sox2', 'Nanog'], organism='mmusculus')
In [3]: enrichment.sort('p.value').head()
Out[3]:
