Retrieve SIFT results using python and web server

Question

[nilus1432]

Hello Everyone,

I want to get results of SIFT from a set of aligned sequence using SIFT web server and python

SIFT site I am using is

http://sift.jcvi.org/www/SIFT_aligned_seqs_submit.html

I want to submit several alignments to this server and get scaled probabilities for each alignment using Python.

How to do it using urllib2 or any other library.

Thanks

IIRC there's a way to install SIFT locally. Not sure if you can use urllib2 to bypass this method.
