Bug
Line 2512 of libcalignedsegment.pyx in the
set_tag()function callsget_tag_typecode(value, value_type).In its current implementation,
get_tag_typecodewill always return a value of 0 (indicating an unknown type) ifvalue_typeis'B'due to'B'missing from the enumerated types:pysam/pysam/libcalignedsegment.pyx
Lines 244 to 245 in 2f9d50d
Back in
set_tag(), this typecode value of 0 triggers the ValueError.Solution
Add
'B'to the enumerated types inget_tag_typecode().
