starfish is a Python library for processing images of image-based spatial transcriptomics. It lets you build scalable pipelines that localize and quantify RNA transcripts in image data generated by any FISH method, from simple RNA single-molecule FISH to combinatorial barcoded assays.

See spacetx-starfish.readthedocs.io for the quickstart, user guide, examples, and API.
starfish supports python 3.9-3.12 and can easily be installed from PyPI:
$ pip install starfish[napari]starfish will be dropping support for python 3.9 in future release when upstream dependencies will require a minimum python=3.10 version.
