FIX : couldn't find CrownSegmentationcli.py

[GaelleLeroux]

Hi @allemangD !

I had the same problems we have with ALI_IOS on Windows. I need the full path to the CrownSegmentationcli.py file to run it in wsl. I've created a function based on Slicer's PYTHONPATH to find the file. What do you think ? If you're ok, I'll do the same thing on ALI_IOS after this merge.

Thank you ! Gaelle

At a glance it looks like https://realpython.com/python-import/ has good information on the import system and search paths.

https://docs.python.org/3/reference/import.html is the reference documentation but it is difficult to read if you don't already understand it in detail. I suggest you review the realpython link.

The relevant section for this is Python's Import Path - but that entire page has valuable information and demonstrations.

Adding the PYTHONPATH to my environment in WSL seems to work. When I manually add FlexReg in Slicer and do the step you suggested, it works fine. But when I try to run requirement.py (located in ALI/ALI_IOS_utils in the DCBIA repository), I can't find it, even though I see the file on the computer after downloading AutomatedTools as a user.

When I run a command in the python console of Slicer to get more details about the paths it knows that are linked to SlicerAutomatedDentalTools. I can see the path to ALI.py and some files in AREG_Method but I can't see any path with ALI_IOS_utils in it. I can't understand why it knows the path to Reader.py (located in ASO/ASO_Method_IOS_utils/ in the DCBIA repository) and not the requirement.py path. Do you have an explanation and how I can solve it ?

Thank you !

You'd access it from python via import ALI_IOS_utils.requirement, or you'd execute it via command line (assuming PYTHONPATH is set properly) with -m option like conda run ... python -m ALI_IOS_utils.requirement.

sys.modules contains only the modules that have already been loaded. If nothing has imported a module yet, it won't appear in sys.modules.

However if you inspect sys.path - or notice the location of modules like ALI, AMASSS, etc. - you'll see ..../qt-scripted-modules on the path. That's the root that's searched for modules; when you import or -m ALI_IOS_utils.requirement python will look at ..../qt-scripted-modules/ALI_IOS_utils/requirement.py.

@allemangD

I think I did it, it works fine on my computer! Can you tell me if it's good and if so merge it?

Thank you !
