iMAT+MTA functions on Python

[RolandLendsley]

is the iMAT (https://github.com/opencobra/cobratoolbox/blob/6c1ba69dfd7adbf121a3b987a3446b3d7fdc15ed/src/dataIntegration/transcriptomics/iMAT/iMAT.m) and MTA algorithm from cobratoolbox(matlab) available on cobrapy too?

If not, would you think about implementing it soon on cobrapy?
If that's not the case, could you provide a swift alternative to run iMAT/MAT within a Python based project?

Thank you,
Roland

Most of the metabolic reconstruction algorithms were slated to be added to driven. However, that has been stalled since nobody wanted to pick this up. There is an implementation of iMAT in there but I would not bet that it still works (last updated several years ago). There are sone actively maintained alternatives on https://opencobra.github.io/cobrapy/tags/reconstruction/ you could check out.
