The MSRead module enables a simple reading of popular Mass Spectrometry data formats including: mzData, mzXML, mzML, MGF, ASCII XY and Thermo Raw files.

import msread

# open file
with msread.read("myfile.mzML") as reader:

    # show summary
    reader.summary(show=True)

    # read headers only
    for header in reader.headers(min_rt=5*60, max_rt=10*60, ms_level=1):
        print(header)

    # read scans
    for scan in reader.scans(min_rt=5*60, max_rt=10*60, ms_level=1):
        print(scan.header)
        print(scan.centroids)
