When I run genomedata-load-seq using the following command:

genomedata-load-seq -f embl87Galgal5.genomedata embl87Galgal5.dna.fa

I got the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/genomedata-load-seq", line 9, in

It looks this issue comes from trying to create a genomedata archive in file mode when the file already exists. Does embl87Galgal5.genomedata already exist when you attempted that command? It looks like you just need to remove the embl87Galgal5.genomedata folder first then re-run the command.

There should be a better message for this case. I re-raised this as Issue #42.
