Overview
--------

``gb-io.py`` is a Python package that provides an interface to `gb-io`, a very
fast GenBank format parser and serializer implemented in Rust. It can reach 
much higher speed than the `Biopython <http://biopython.org/>`_ or
the `scikit-bio <http://scikit-bio.org/>`_ parsers.

This library has no external dependency and is available for all modern Python
versions (3.7+).


Setup
-----

Run ``pip install gb-io`` in a shell to download the latest release from PyPI,
or have a look at the :doc:`Installation page <install>` to find other ways 
to install ``gb-io``.
