WHAT IS PyPedal?
PyPedal is a Python package for pedigree analysis. It's a research tool for the use of the author and any others who might be interested in it. It was originally developed by John B. Cole as part of his dissertation work, and expanded on during his time at USDA's Agricultural Research Service. The code may be freely (re)distributed.
DOCUMENTATION
An HTML version of the manual for an older version may be found at: http://pypedal.sourceforge.net/. I'm working on completely new documentation but it'll be a while.
INSTALLING PyPedal
You should be able to use the usual setup.py installer that's included in the download.
You must have Python 3 installed in order to use PyPedal.
I've successfully used PyPedal in various flavors of RedHat Linux (including RHEL), Mandrake Linux, CentOS, and macOS (including Big Sur). I don't routinely use Windows, so I'm afraid I can't be too much help there.
