New reactome2py package links our web services and data with python.

Data science represents a new and evolving way of doing scientific research with critical elements including reproducibility, open access to data, methods and source code, and highly reusable and modular services on the web. Given the popularity of the Python programming language among data scientists, we have created the reactome2py package , which facilitates communication between our tools and web services with Python. The reactome2py package consists of a library of helper functions that wrap calls to the Reactome RESTful API and a utility module that simplifies access to our open-data.
