Lamin Utils.
What it is and what it does
Lamin Utils is a utility package that provides helper functions and shared code for LaminDB and Bionty, which are tools for bioinformatics data management and biological ontology handling. The package has no runtime dependencies, making it lightweight to install and integrate into downstream projects that need common functionality across the LaminDB ecosystem.
The package is actively maintained and supports Python 3.10 through 3.13. It is positioned as a foundational component for users working with LaminDB or Bionty who need access to shared utilities, though the specific scope of utilities provided is not detailed in the available metadata.
Use it for:
- Extend LaminDB installations with shared utility functions needed by the broader LaminDB ecosystem
- Develop Bionty-based applications that require common helper functions
- Build bioinformatics pipelines that depend on both LaminDB and Bionty utilities
