💖 PYTHON-PYMZML 💖

okay bestie, so this is a miscellaneous information manual page for python3-pymzml, and no cap, it's gonna be quick and cute. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

python3-pymzml — mzML mass spectrometric data parsing. that's the whole vibe. parsing mzML data. iconic behavior fr 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this page is the lil intro doc for the python3-pymzml package, which is the package that ships the pymzML Python extension. yes bestie, it's giving "packages a package" and we love that for us.

pymzML is an extension to Python, and here's what it's serving:

  • easy access to mass spectrometry (MS) data, which lets you build tools rapidly — like, fast fast ⚡
  • a very fast parser for mzML data, aka the standard in mass spectrometry data format (the moment 🎀)
  • a set of functions to compare or handle spectra

pymzML requires Python3.5+, so like, update babe. the module is freely available on pymzml.github.com or pypi, and it's published under the MIT license — free, open, generous, we stan 💖

also the documentation for this Python extension is packaged in the python"-pymzml-doc package. (yes the quote mark in there is exactly how it's written, i don't make the rules 😭)

🦋 EXAMPLES 🦋

a bunch of useful examples ship inside the python-pymzml-doc package and you can find them at:

/usr/share/doc/python3-pymzml/example_scripts

now listen, some of these examples use functions that live in get_example_file.py, and they get at them by importing that file's contents. so here's the tea: it's suggested that you copy this directory to a temporary place, and then run python from inside that new directory, so you can actually get access to the features in that get_example_file.py file through an import — because otherwise that import just will not work. periodt. 🙈
