Re: parallel: Input is tty

[Rob Syme]

Sorry to bother you, I've worked out the problem.

On my local ubuntu machine, I was running the version of parallel from
the repositories (2009ish), and I downloaded the most recent version
to run on the remote machine.

The new version needs the command:

$ parallel -j 6 example_script.py ::: *.fasta

Sorry to waste your time. Hope this is helpful to the next person.
