pymzML--Python module for high-throughput bioinformatics on mass spectrometry data

Bioinformatics. 2012 Apr 1;28(7):1052-3. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/bts066. Epub 2012 Feb 2.

Abstract

Summary: pymzML is an extension to Python that offers (i) an easy access to mass spectrometry (MS) data that allows the rapid development of tools, (ii) a very fast parser for mzML data, the standard data format in MS and (iii) a set of functions to compare or handle spectra.

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