Python Wrapper

src/wrapper_?d.py

Handles design run submissions.

design_?d():

Presents the empty design page.

design_?d_run():

Handles the AJAX POST request.

• It parses and tests the inputs, spawns a job in background using threading.Thread, and adds JOB_ID to database.
• It creates a waiting page HTML (create_HTML_page_wait() in src/helper.py) for display.
• A JSON response from result_json() in src/views.py is returned for page refreshing, while the threaded job runs in parallel.

demo_?d():

Presents the demo result page.

demo_?d_run():

Handles the AJAX POST request for running demo. It takes default parameter and spawns the threading.Thread job.

random_?d():

Is to test for random input and remains unknown to public; not available for Design3D. It generates a random sequence first, and follow the same steps as other jobs.

design_?d_wrapper():

Calls primerize design code and processes the result.

• It creates a error, or fail, or success page HTML (create_HTML_page_result() in src/helper.py) for display, overwriting the previous waiting page.
• It renders a graphical HTML result page by parsing the result instance from primerize.
• It updates the JOB_ID entry in MySQL of its status, time and results.

For Design2D and Design3D:

• The result folder is zipped using zipfile in python.
• A JSON file is saved for d3.js 96-well plate drawing. Wild-Type primers are overridden by color green.

design_?d_from_?d():

Like /result/, it pre-fills the form with previous inputs, and redirects to design_?d() with flag from_?d set. The ?from= in the request.GET is required to parse JOB_ID.
