TabError when running ROSE

[Audrey Marmotte]

Dear ROSE developpers, I tried to use ROSE on a windows 7 computer after installing and testing python, samtools, ... Here is the command line I used : python.exe ROSE_main.py -g mm10 -i SB4enhancer.gff -r sortindexSB4.bam -o rose an I obtained the following error : File "ROSE_main.py", line 292 inputGFFFile = options.input ^ TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation

So I downloaded your example files and tried on them. I obtained exactly the same error.

Could you please help me?

Thanks in advance

Hi Audrey,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We can reproduce your issue, and it seems to be caused by using python3 instead of python2. We intend to modify the code to be python3-compliant, but this will take some time. If possible in your case, I recommend using python2 in the interim.

Thank you very much. It works perfectly with python 2.7.

A python3 version is now available: https://github.com/stjude/ROSE
