Warning
In most cases these modules do not need to be called directly. They
register via the central ObsPy
read() function - call this instead.
Usage Example:
import obspy
# Format will be detected automatically.
st = obspy.read("/path/to/file")
# Many formats can also be written out - just use the module name.
st.write("/path/to/outfile", format="mseed")
