profile.write() — write a profile

write(file, profile_format)

This command will write a profile to a specified file, together with a number of variables that are associated with the profile in the memory. Two formats are supported: TEXT and BINARY.

For TEXT files, file can be either a file name or a writeable file handle (see modfile.File()). For BINARY files, it must be a file name.

Example: examples/commands/aln_to_prof.py

from modeller import *
env = environ()

# Read in the alignment file
aln = alignment(env)
aln.append(file='toxin.ali', alignment_format='PIR', align_codes='ALL')

# Convert the alignment to profile format
prf = aln.to_profile()

# Write out the profile

# in text file
prf.write(file='alntoprof.prf', profile_format='TEXT')

# in binary format
prf.write(file='alntoprof.bin', profile_format='BINARY')
