Python library for parsing bcftools stats file

Question

[William]

Did someone already create a python library for parsing bcftools stats output files?

BCFTools stats generates a txt stats file from VCF/BCF files. These text stats files contains some tab delimited tables and key value pairs that I would like to acces programmatically in python.

Depending on the bcftoools stats arguments used the content of the stats file can be different: http://www.htslib.org/doc/bcftools.html#stats

It would be nice if this already exists and don't need to write a bcftools stats parser myself.

pyvcf is parsing VCF files, I am looking for a parser for VCF/BCF stats files generated by bcftools stats.
