I’ve written an analytical pipeline in Python that I think will be useful to other people. I’m wondering whether it is customary to publish such scripts in GitHub, whether there’s a specific place to do this for Python scripts, or even if there’s a more specific place for biology-related Python scripts.
You could also publish it on sourceforge. All types of science, engineering, etc scripts are posted, and millions of people download these scripts. Github is also a good choice, but I do believe sourceforge is more popular in viewers and in downloads. Also, you could publish a openwetware wiki and post the code there, openwetware is a wiki system for scientific use, I have used it previously and recommend it. Or you can link the two great opensource platforms, sourceforge and github by mirroring so your project is essentially’synced’ to both platforms:
