Does ParentChildTreeFile.txt of Interpro has a specific tree format?

Question

[Damianos P. Melidis]

Hey all,

I want to parse the ParentChildTreeFile of interpro database, found at:

https://www.ebi.ac.uk/interpro/beta/download/

I would like to use Python to parse it. However after reading the user_manual from interpro, I couldn't find any details for the format of the file. Does the file follow any specific format? So I can use a specific Python library it to parse it or I should make my own parser?

Thank you very much!

Damianos
