"""Wrapper for TMHMM v2.0 for use in Galaxy.

This script takes exactly two command line arguments - an input protein FASTA
filename and an output tabular filename. It then calls the standalone TMHMM
v2.0 program (not the webservice) requesting the short output (one line per
protein).

The first major feature is cleaning up the tabular output. The short form raw
output from TMHMM v2.0 looks like this (six columns tab separated):

 gi|2781234|pdb|1JLY|B	len=304 ExpAA=0.01	First60=0.00	PredHel=0	Topology=o
 gi|4959044|gb|AAD34209.1|AF069992_1	len=600	ExpAA=0.00	First60=0.00	PredHel=0	Topology=o
 gi|671626|emb|CAA85685.1|	len=473 ExpAA=0.19	First60=0.00 PredHel=0	Topology=o
 gi|3298468|dbj|BAA31520.1|	len=107	ExpAA=59.37	First60=31.17	PredHel=3	Topology=o23-45i52-74o89-106i

If there are any additional 'comment' lines starting with the hash (#)
character these are ignored by this script.

In order to make it easier to use in Galaxy, this wrapper script simplifies
this to remove the redundant tags, and instead adds a comment line at the
top with the column names:

 #ID	len	ExpAA	First60	PredHel	Topology 
 gi|2781234|pdb|1JLY|B	304	0.01	60	0.00	0	o
 gi|4959044|gb|AAD34209.1|AF069992_1	600	0.00	0	0.00	0	o
 gi|671626|emb|CAA85685.1|	473	0.19	0.00	0	o
 gi|3298468|dbj|BAA31520.1|	107	59.37	31.17	3	o23-45i52-74o89-106i

The second major potential feature is taking advantage of multiple cores
(since TMHMM v2.0 itself is single threaded) by dividing the input FASTA file
into chunks and running multiple copies of TMHMM in parallel. I would normally
use Python's multiprocessing library in this situation but it requires at
least Python 2.6 and at the time of writing Galaxy still supports Python 2.4.

Also tmhmm2 can fail without returning an error code, for example if run on a
64 bit machine with only the 32 bit binaries installed. This script will spot
when there is no output from tmhmm2, and raise an error.
