BioServices

When to use

Use BioServices when combining protein annotation, gene/pathway membership, compound cross-references, or genomic resources in Python. Its service clients share transport helpers, but their request parameters and return types differ. Use the service reference before composing clients; method names from PubChemPy, mygene, or older BioServices are not portable.

Targets bioservices 1.16.0, the current PyPI release at review. Package metadata allows Python >=3.9,<4; the bundled tests were run in an isolated Python 3.13 environment. The previous 3.12 upper bound was not a package requirement.

uv pip install "bioservices==1.16.0"
