# rds2py

Parse, extract and create Python representations for datasets stored in RDS files. It supports Bioconductor's `SummarizedExperiment` and `SingleCellExperiment` objects. This is possible because of [Aaron's rds2cpp library](https://github.com/LTLA/rds2cpp).

The package uses memory views (except for strings) so that we can access the same memory from C++ space in Python (through Cython of course). This is especially useful for large datasets so we don't make copies of data.
