# python3-pymzml(7)

mzML mass spectrometric data parsing

## NAME

python3-pymzml - mzML mass spectrometric data parsing

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **python3-pymzml** 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 Python3.5+. The module is freely available on pymzml.github.com or pypi, published under the MIT license.

The documentation of this Python extension is packaged in the **python"-pymzml-doc** package.

## EXAMPLES

A number of useful examples are shipped within the **python-pymzml-doc** package and can be found at */usr/share/doc/python3-pymzml/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).
