obspy for sego - higher sample rate..

Folks,
I want to use obspy for segysu active source data - but because of the segy definition, the number of samples is limited to 65K. In the PASSCAL version of SEG-Y and in SU, there are modifications for having more samples per trace... Has anybody implemented that?

Thanks,
Sridhar

Hi Sridhar!

So far not, but it is a trivial modification, as the whole header is defined as a dictionary:
https://github.com/obspy/obspy/blob/master/obspy/segy/header.py

It could be implemented as a simple flag passed to the read function.

In any case, please open an issue on our github page and attach an example file as well as the specification for the format. Please feel also free to implement it yourself and send us a pull request.

Cheers!
