I want to use python read the bigWig on Windows system, but I can not find any library can do this job, both pyBigWig and bx-python are not support the Windows system.

Is there are any method let me use python read the bigWig file on Windows system? Or, may be I should try to compile a pyBigWig library for Windows?

When you say on windows, are you using the linux subshell or do you mean python on windows natively?

Sorry, I didn’t express it clearly. I mean python on windows natively.

You might be able to compile pyBigWig or bx-python on Windows 10, that's about the best you can hope for. In general we don't write for or test software on Windows. In fact, if you can use the Linux subsystem on Windows 10 then I expect most programs will then be available to you and work.

If you are happy to switch to R, or if it is possible to call R from Python, maybe worth checking rtracklayer package.
