Is it possible to import .fst file in python

Question

The fst package in R provides blazing-fast read and write speed, and it requires less hard-drive space. See benchmarking results in R at here.

I wonder if it is possible to read a .fst file in Python. I haven't found an easy way to do that in Python. (Edit: I meant to import an fst file, not the fst package, into python. It's just like importing an csv file written out by R into python).

Thank you!

Answer 1

There is currently no package that can read fst into Python. See the discussion by the developers at here
