The simplicity of p3d is due to the usage of object +oriented programming (i.e. atoms are treated as vectors), the implementation +of a query parser that translates queries readable by humans into a combination +of algebra set operations the fact that no additional Python packages are +necessary. The speed is due to the usage of a binary space partitioning (BSP) +tree which allows very fast queries in 3D (Henry et al. 1980). The additional +synergy is obtained by the flexible combination of both speed and complexity in +the queries to the structural data. The combination of these factors makes p3d +the optimal module to rapidly develop new and powerful bioinformatic tools that +follow the Python philosophy of making the source code readable. +</longdescription> +</pkgmetadata> |
