Iterations over pymzml.run.Reader()

[danielefil]

As well described in the manual it's possible to create an iterable python object (run) using the function: run = py.mzml.run.Reader('file.mzml')

Using a for loop it is possible to iterate over run and work with a spectra at each iteration: for spectra in run:     spectra.do_something()

In my program I need to repeat for loops over run for a couple of time. The firt loop works fine but the following ones are not executed. I suppose, because the iterator index reach the last value at the end of first loop and so, at the second loop, it'a alreasy at last value. For now I re-create the run object before every loop (not a big problem).

I'm kidly ask if its possible to reset the iterator index using some already written fuction i.e. _init_iter(self) contained in run.py (line 337).

Thanks Best

Hi Daniele,

thanks for raising this. I'll have a look into the code and see how easy this is to implement.

Hi Daniele,

if buffering of the required data for each spectrum is an option, you could try this avoid multiple iterations over the file.
