Intro
=====
This tutorial assumes that
1. You know how to use BEDTools_ (if not, check out the
`BEDTools documentation`_)
2. You know how to use Python (if not, check out some
tutorials like `Learn Python the Hard Way`_)
A brief note on conventions
---------------------------
Throughout this documentation I've tried to use consistent typography, as
follows:
* Python variables and arguments, as well as filenames look like this: `s=True`
* Methods, which are often linked to documentation look like this:
:meth:`BedTool.merge`.
* Arguments that are passed to BEDTools_ programs, as if you were on the
command line, look like this: ``-d``.
* The ">>>" in the examples below indicates a Python interpreter prompt and
means to type the code into an interactive Python interpreter like
IPython_ or in a script. (don't type the >>>)
Onward!
