Greetings, We're happy to announce new versions of Bed-Reader (1.0.0) and PySnpTools (0.5.11): Bed-reader The Python version of Bed-Reader now supports SciPy's sparse matrix format. Also, by default, it now depends only on NumPy. If you want that minimal version use pip install bed-reader If you want support for downloading example files and creating sparse matrices use: pip install bed-reader[samples,sparse] Rust version: The Rust version of Bed-Reader now returns a smaller "result code". (Result<_,Box<BedErrorPlus>> instead of Result<_, BedErrorPlus>.) PySnpTools We cleaned up the code, removing references to Python 2. Also, updated some sample files to fix warnings that they were compressed with Python 2 methods. * Carl Carl Kadie, Ph.D. FaST-LMM & PySnpTools Team<https://fastlmm.github.io/> (Microsoft Research, retired) https://www.linkedin.com/in/carlk/ Join the FaST-LMM user discussion and announcement list via email<mailto:fastlmm-user-join@python.org?subject=Subscribe> (or use web sign up<https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/fastlmm-user.python.org>)
