Abstract
Motivation: INCA is a powerful tool for metabolic flux analysis, however, import and export of data and results can be tedious and limit the use of INCA in automated workflows.
Results: The INCAWrapper enables the use of INCA purely through Python, which allows the use of INCA in common data science workflows.
Availability and implementation: The INCAWrapper is implemented in Python and can be found at https://github.com/biosustain/incawrapper. It is freely available under an MIT License. To run INCA, the user needs their own MATLAB and INCA licenses. INCA is freely available for noncommercial use at mfa.vueinnovations.com.
