  • python-bioformats

    Read and write life sciences file formats

  • For domain-specific stuff like data formats, look for bindings to libraries used in that domain, which may not be native to Python. From a quick Google, this project may be useful: https://github.com/CellProfiler/python-bioformats/ Unlike say numpy, it may be a road less traveled.

  • ITK

    Insight Toolkit (ITK) -- Official Repository. ITK builds on a proven, spatially-oriented architecture for processing, segmentation, and registration of scientific images in two, three, or more dimensions.

  • VTK is a powerful visualization package, but it's more for working with 3D FEM/CFD data. There are lots of things in there though, so it may be useful. The sister project Paraview is an application which can be used to work with data interactively. Both have great Python support. There is also ITK which is focused on with image data, like medical scans - never used it, though.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
