What is the purpose of this PR?
For large MALDI runs, it is not uncommon for the data in
.imzML
files to exceed the amount of memory on the MALDI machine. The baseimzml
extractor does not handle this, so our existing forked installation needs to be used instead.How did you implement your changes
Forked
pyimzml
and update to remove unnecessary processing for our purposes, and clear out each element seen byiterparse
once fully processed.Remaining issues
Further testing is needed.
