calling sx from python?

[plaszczy]

hi devs, is there a way I could call sourcextractor++ directly from python? Actually I am only interested in the background estimate part, so that's even less. Is there way to call a function to do it? thanks! stephane

No, there is no python shortcut or direct python function call.

The primary language is C++, all python is interpreted via C++, so even in the internal mechanics of SE++ there are no high level python subroutines.

Of course you can use subprocess to build and execute SE++ from within python.

OK thanks
