How to get human gene locations via Python?

Question

[magnolia]

Hi,

I would like to get all the chromosomal location information for all genes in humans for both GRCh37 and 38. How can I do this with a Python script?

Thank you!

1. Why do you need this information - what are your plans with it? A gene can have multiple transcripts and each transcript has multiple exons, and each exon has start and end positions on the genome - that is how you'll need to approach this.
2. More importantly, why do you need to do this in python? Read this comment: C: How do I process a FASTQ file in RStudio? - how to do "X" is a valid question. Starting out with How to do "X" using "Y" is not good.
