Command Line Interface

Note

The command line wrapper might not work on Windows. Use python3 -m pybel if it has issues.

PyBEL automatically installs the command pybel. This command can be used to easily compile BEL documents and convert to other formats. See pybel --help for usage details. This command makes logs of all conversions and warnings to the directory ~/.pybel/.
