If you find a bug, you can fork the repo and fix it yourself, or look for someone else's fork which may already contain a fix. +If you would like to take control of the nd2reader namespace on PyPI, please shoot me an email. I'm not going to just give it away but I will consider it for someone who produces a high-quality fork that's widely-used. + ### About `nd2reader` is a pure-Python package that reads images produced by NIS Elements 4.0+. It has only been definitively tested on NIS Elements 4.30.02 Build 1053. Support for older versions is being actively worked on.
