IO

The IO module provides functions and classes for reading and writing files. Central access points are the open function for reading files, the open_indexed function for reading indexed files, and the count_entries function for counting entries in a file.

In addition, several FileBuffer classes are exposed, that can be used to specify how a file should be interpreted. Giving these as buffer_type argument to open overrides any automatic format detection based on filename suffix

API documentation

bionumpy.io.bnp_open(filename: str, mode: str | None = None, buffer_type=None, lazy=None) → NpDataclassReader | NpBufferedWriter[source]

Open a file according to its suffix

Open a NpDataclassReader file object, that can be used to read the file, either in chunks or completely. Files read in chunks can be used together with the @bnp.streamable decorator to call a function on all chunks in the file and optionally reduce the results.

If mode=”w” it opens a writer object.

Parameters

filenamestr: Name of the file to open
modestr: Either “w” or “r”
buffer_typeFileBuffer: A FileBuffer class to specify how the data in the file should be interpreted
lazybool: If True, the data will be read lazily, i. e. only when it is accessed. This is useful to speed up reading of large files, but it is more memory demanding

Returns

NpDataclassReader: A file reader object
