sambamba-bindings

Bindings for the sambamba library (BAM reading and writing)

CFFI bindings are known to work on PyPy 2.0, Linux 64-bit. They also run on CPython 2.*, but about 5x slower (stick with PySam or join PyPy users).

Compilation

• git clone --recursive https://github.com/lomereiter/sambamba-bindings.git
• install DMD compiler (http://dlang.org/download)
• create a symlink libphobos2.so.0.65 -> libphobos2.so (the library comes with the compiler)
• run make from the root directory

Usage

• set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to be the directory where libphobos2.so.0.65 is located
• if you use CPython 2.*, install CFFI: pip install cffi
• try to run python python/example.py

Ruby bindings

• After running make as described above, `cd ruby/ && ruby extconf.rb && make'
• This will create file sambamba.so which can be loaded as require './sambamba.so'; libsambambawrapper.so must be findable through the shared library path.
