Tool:I packaged some tools in python pypi for Windows (fastqc, bowtie2, samtools)

Question

[Cris]

(But I think there aren't too many people using Windows...)

These tools are published on PYPI, so you can install them without conda.

bowtie2-py, packaged bowtie2

fastqc-py, packaged fastqc, jre included!

samtools-py, packaged samtools

Firstly, nice work?

That said, maybe I'm making a mountain out of a molehill but:

Tool:I packaged

From https://github.com/soda92/bowtie2_py/blob/main/bowtie2_py/bowtie2.py:

# Copyright 2024, Translation to Python by Gemini

Why not issue the credit where it is due in the README, and acknowledge Gemini openly for helping write -- by the looks of it from your commits -- at least parts of the code?

Other issues:

1. https://github.com/soda92/samtools_py does not appear to exist?
2. You've seemingly submitted a relatively large number of packages to PyPI over a very short period of time (https://pypi.org/user/sodacris/). What gives?
3. Not that entities on the internet are known for scrupulousness, but why claim to be from Japan here on Biostars when your GitHub profile says you're from China?
4. Why the apparently sudden interest in bioinformatics packages? Your public GitHub repositories seem to be a hodgepodge of mostly non-bioinformatics stuff?

Given all these issues (and probably more?), why should your work here be trusted especially when considering the fact that this code might have to be installed in sensitive environments?

I would suspect ports like this to be easy vectors for malicious code on PyPI which seem to be dime a dozen otherwise anyway (https://www.fortinet.com/blog/threat-research/analyzing-malicious-intent-in-python-code).
