        To run the tests, download the `test dataset
        <https://www.dropbox.com/s/h17go7tnas4hpby/plastid_test_data.tar.bz2?dl=0>`_
        and unpack it into ``plastid/test``.
        
        
        Introduction
        ------------
        
        ``plastid`` is a Python library for genomic analysis -- in particular,
        high-throughput sequencing data -- with an emphasis on simplicity for users. It
        was written by Joshua Dunn in `Jonathan Weissman's lab
        <http://weissmanlab.ucsf.edu>`_ at `UCSF <http://ucsf.edu>`_,  initially for
        analysis of ribosome profiling and RNA-seq data. Versions of it have been used
        in several publications.
        
        ``plastid``'s intended audience includes computational and traditional
        biologists, software developers, and even those who are new to sequencing
        analysis. It is released under the BSD 3-Clause license.
        
        This package provides:
        
          #. A set of scripts that implement common sequencing analyses
        
          #. A set of classes for exploratory data anlysis. These provide simple
             and consistent interfaces for manipulating genomic features,
             read alignments, and quantitative data; and readily interface with
             existing scientific tools, like the SciPy stack.
        
          #. Script writing tools that make it easy to use the objects implemented in
             ``plastid``.
        
          #. Extensive documentation, both in source code and at `our home page
             <http://plastid.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_ on `ReadtheDocs
             <http://readthedocs.io>`_.
        
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        ``plastid`` can be installed directly from PyPI, but requires numpy, pysam,
        and cython to be installed first i.e.::
        
            $ pip install numpy pysam cython
            $ pip install plastid
        
        If you get any runtime warnings about numpy versions having changed, or about
        a missing module in Pysam, or about some object being the wrong size, try
        regenerating the included C source files from the original Cython code. To
        do this type::
        
            $ pip install --upgrade  --install-option='--recythonize' plastid
