Hi Jen,
The ability to use Python commands with the Compute tool seems to be a very well-hidden gem in Galaxy. The problem with this nearly unmentioned gem is the sheer frustration felt when something that works on the Python command line fails on the Galaxy Compute tool.
What I would like to do is manipulate a column from a UCSC download that lists two or three codons separated by a comma, e.g. AAC,GCG, or GGT, CAC, TAT, . The string-based split command < c5.split(",").pop(1) > fails on this data because Galaxy assigned it a <list> type automatically. All of my attempts to change the data type to "string" have failed.
Any suggestions?
