IGEM:Harvard/2006/Container Design 4/Python Code/Pickle Scripts

All of these scripts make use of pickle.dump() to move structs into main - in main use pickle.load() to essentially upload the struct. This way the lists of oligos to split or oligos to add aptamers or latches to etc can be seperated from the main program and double checked or modified more easily. These scripts can also be found on the page their most related to (i.e. the oligo splitting pickle script is on the oligo splitting code page.)

Oligo Splitting

### split = [[oligo_num, num_tokens for oligo_1 - from 5prime], ... ]

import pickle

fout_barrel = None
fout_lid = None

try:
        fout_barrel = open("barrel_oligos_to_split.txt", "w")
        fout_lid = open("lid_oligos_to_split.txt", "w")
except IOError, e:
        print "Error in file IO: ", e

barrel_split = [[56, 2], [57, 3], [41, 3], [26, 3], [21, 4]]
lid_split = [[27, 4], [2, 4]]

pickle.dump(barrel_split, fout_barrel)
pickle.dump(lid_split, fout_lid)

# clean up if they're open
if fout_barrel:
        fout_barrel.close()
if fout_lid:
        fout_lid.close()
