NAME
       python-mzml - mzML mass spectrometric data parsing


DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents briefly the python-mzml package that packages the pymzML Python extension.

       pymzML is an extension to Python that offers:

       - easy access to mass spectrometry (MS) data that allows the rapid development of tools;

       - a very fast parser for mzML data, the standard in mass spectrometry data format;

       - a set of functions to compare or handle spectra.

       pymzML  requires  Python2.6.5+  and  is  fully compatible with Python3. The module is freely available on
       pymzml.github.com or pypi, published under LGPL and requires no additional modules to be installed.

       The documentation of this Python extension is packaged in the python-mzml-doc package.


EXAMPLES
       A  number  of  useful  examples  are  shipped  within  the  python-mzml  package  and  can  be  found  at
       /usr/share/doc/python-mzml/example_scripts.  A  number of the examples make use of functions contained in
       get_example_file.py via an import of that file's contents. It is suggested to copy this  directory  to  a
       temporary  place  and  to  run python from inside that new directory so as to gain access to the features
       contained in that get_example_file.py file through an import (which would not work otherwise).
