escapepod
Fast Python reader/writer for Oxford Nanopore POD5 files, backed by a pure
Rust engine (the same engine as the escpod
CLI). It mirrors the API of Oxford Nanopore's official
pod5 package closely
enough to be a mostly drop-in replacement, while reading and writing
considerably faster.
Alpha quality and under active development. APIs and output formats may change without notice. Verify results against the official ONT
pod5tools before relying on it for anything important.
Install
uv pip install escapepod
Wheels are published for CPython 3.9+ (abi3) on Linux (x86_64/aarch64, manylinux + musllinux) and macOS (x86_64/arm64).
Usage
import escapepod
with escapepod.Reader("experiment.pod5") as reader:
print(f"{reader.read_count} reads")
for read in reader:
signal = reader.get_signal(read) # raw ADC (int16)
print(read.read_id, read.num_samples, signal.mean())
See the documentation for the full API.
