Hi all,

not sure if it’s ok to post announcements of software using TileDB here; if not feel free to delete this.

I just published [tilesegy](https://github.com/gsakkis/tilesegy), a small Python library for accessing seismic data with a [segyio](https://github.com/equinor/segyio)-like API and TileDB as a storage backend. It’s pretty early stage at this point; it provides only read access and without any time spent on benchmarking/profiling/performance tuning it yet. If any forum members work with SEG-Y and/or Seismic Unix files, it would be great if you could give it a try and let me know of any feedback, either here or on Github.

Best,  
George

@gsakkis thank you for using TileDB! Would you be ok if we tweeted about it with our @tiledb handle? We are always super supportive of packages using TileDB – small or big. Cheers
