Hi everyone,
Is there a way of reading VTX files from ADIOS2 in the VTK Python-API?
As far as I can tell, it is only possible in the C++ interface ([https://gitlab.kitware.com/search?group\_id=16&project\_id=13&repository\_ref=master&scope=blobs&search=vtkADIOS2VTXReader](https://gitlab.kitware.com/search?group_id=16&project_id=13&repository_ref=master&scope=blobs&search=vtkADIOS2VTXReader))

Hi @jorgensd,
did you try to import it?
```python
from vtkmodules.vtkIOADIOS2 import vtkADIOS2VTXReader
```
if it fails then it means that this reader isn’t wrapped
FYI @caitlin.ross

Hi Lucas,
I did, at least in my vtk installation `vtkIOADIOS2` is not a submodule of `vtkmodules`.
```bash
In [2]: from vtkmodules.vtkIOADIOS2 import vtkADIOS2VTXReader
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ModuleNotFoundError Traceback (most recent call last)
Cell In[2], line 1
----> 1 from vtkmodules.vtkIOADIOS2 import vtkADIOS2VTXReader
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'vtkmodules.vtkIOADIOS2'
```
This is with `vtkmodules` version 9.3.1.

hum it should be available, I try it locally with my own vtk installation and I have this modules
are you sure the ADIOS2 vtk module has been build before the installation ?

I’ve not built vtk from scratch here, but using the pip binary wheels, which I guess does not include ADIOS2?

ah got it, indeed it’s not enabled: [https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/-/blob/master/.gitlab/ci/configure\_wheel.cmake?ref\_type=heads#L47](https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/-/blob/master/.gitlab/ci/configure_wheel.cmake?ref_type=heads#L47)

Not much we can do there as the policy is that the official wheels have no external dependencies other than “standard” things like OpenGL or X11 libraries.
