twobitreader can be imported as a module within python or run as a script from the command line, for example
$ python -m twobitreader example.2bit < example.bed
When run in this mode, twobitreader accepts only one argument, the filename of the .2bit genome, and reads coordinates from stdin in BED format
Output is given in FASTA format to stdout (warnings and errors are issued on stderr)
twobitreader.download can also be run as a script to fetch a genome by name, for example
$ python -m twobitreader.download hg19
which will save hg19.2bit to your current directory
