About

yaml2sbml is a small package in Python to convert an ODE model specified in a YAML file into SBML for ODE simulation and into PEtab for parameter fitting. yaml2sbml offers:

  • a translator of ODE models specified in YAML into SBML/PEtab via a Python and a command-line interface;
  • a format validator for the input YAML; and
  • a model editor, which provides a simplified interface to generate, import and export YAML models.

Installation

yaml2sbml can be installed from PyPI with

pip install yaml2sbml

For more info see the docs.

Getting Started

Basic Syntax

Python

A YAML model can be translated to SBML/PEtab in Python via

import yaml2sbml

# SBML conversion
yaml2sbml.yaml2sbml(yaml_dir, sbml_dir)

#PEtab conversion
yaml2sbml.yaml2petab(yaml_dir, 
                     output_dir,
                     sbml_name)

Command-Line Interface

and in the command-line via

# SBML conversion
yaml2sbml <yaml_dir> <sbml_dir>

#PEtab conversion
yaml2petab <yaml_dir> <output_dir> <sbml_name>

Format Validation

Format validation is possible in Python via yaml2sbml.validate_yaml and in the command-line via yaml2sbml_validate.
