From 1813f0c8d0e4a30fe854f445aa5b9b598f1e183a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nils Homer Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2025 20:44:36 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] feat: add IteratorColumnRecords for building pileups from AlignedSegments Add new IteratorColumnRecords class that generates pileup columns from a collection of AlignedSegment objects using htslib's push-based pileup API (bam_plp_push/bam_plp64_next). Key features: - Accepts any iterable of AlignedSegments (requires coordinate-sorted order) - Supports optional reference sequence (fastafile parameter) - Includes add_reference(), has_reference(), and seq_len property - Configurable min_base_quality parameter - Uses 64-bit position types (hts_pos_t) for extended chromosome support Implementation notes: - Uses bam_plp_push/bam_plp64_next instead of callback-based approach - Records consumed during initialization for push-based API - Includes required NULL push to signal end-of-input - Leverages 64-bit APIs (bam_plp64_next, faidx_fetch_seq64) from PR #1362 - Uses opaque bam_plp_s struct (no direct field access needed) Testing: - 12 new tests covering reference support, edge cases, and parameters - Documented known limitation: minor depth differences vs samtools mpileup due to push-based vs pull-based filtering differences Changes: - Add IteratorColumnRecords class in pysam/libcalignmentfile.pyx - Update to use 64-bit pileup APIs (bam_plp64_next, faidx_fetch_seq64) - Add type stub in pysam/libcalignmentfile.pyi - Add parameterized to test dependencies for parameterized tests - Update CI workflows to install parameterized package Closes https://github.com/pysam-developers/pysam/issues/1352 --- .cirrus.yml | 1 + .github/workflows/ci.yaml | 6 +- pysam/libcalignmentfile.pxd | 15 +- pysam/libcalignmentfile.pyi | 7 + pysam/libcalignmentfile.pyx | 162 +++++++++++++++++++- requirements-dev.txt | 1 + tests/AlignmentFilePileup_test.py | 240 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- tests/PileupTestUtils.py | 19 ++- 8 files changed, 440 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) diff --git a/.cirrus.yml b/.cirrus.yml index 98331454..2982e308 100644 --- a/.cirrus.yml +++ b/.cirrus.yml @@ -6,6 +6,7 @@ freebsd_ci_task: install_script: | pkg install -y bcftools gmake py311-cython3 py311-mypy py311-pytest samtools + pip install parameterized env: CC: "clang -isystem /usr/local/include" diff --git a/.github/workflows/ci.yaml b/.github/workflows/ci.yaml index 5571a1c5..2b5b096b 100644 --- a/.github/workflows/ci.yaml +++ b/.github/workflows/ci.yaml @@ -28,7 +28,7 @@ jobs: python-version: ${{ matrix.python-version }} -
