gget seq encounters missing gene name from uniprot and throws type error

[rhngla]

What happened?

• Error only occurs only for a small fraction of ids (I went through about 19,000).
• Issue: df_uniprot['gene_name'] is NaN (which is np.float, gget_seq.py expects str)

ids where I encounter the error:

What is the exact command that was run?

import gget
gget.seq(['ENSG00000257046'], translate=True)

Which output/error did you get?

Hi Rohan, thank you very much for bringing this to my attention. I pushed a fix to the dev branch, which will be part of the next release. You can install gget from the dev branch as shown here:

Type conversion fix works - thank you!
