How can I open cytoscape file via cyrest in python?

Question

I'm currently working with cytoscape and created some session file. Then I'd like to access this file in python and get its result as an image - I'd especially like to sort it with some particular shared name when I'm requesting a result, meaning the result changes upto sorting word. Thanks.

There is a python library that faciliatates working with CyREST in Python. You should be able to do just about anything you can do in Cytoscape from Python. Here's the manual: https://py2cytoscape.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

And here are some of the steps you are looking for:

• cyclient.session.open()
• cyclient.network.list()
• cyclient.view.export()
