Project Description
Objective
- Adding Python modules into the Slicer environment is currently cumbersome and difficult to do. With the growth of Python as a scientific research tool, Slicer should provide an easy mechanism for inclusion of Python modules on the fly.
- We will discuss with lead Slicer developers how to best implement a user-friendly approach to improve Python importing. Our work will be tested and documented on the Slicer wiki.
Approach, Plan
- Discussions with JC, Steve, Andrey, and interested Python programmers
- Document best approaches
- Implement work in Slicer 4.3
Progress
- JC has implemented and documented the steps required to install external Python packages into the Slicer environment [[1]]
TODO
- Add the Python function install_distributions into the slicer.util module
- Rename to importExternalPythonModules() ?
- Add inclusion of distribute and pip installs to the CMake build (default: OFF)
