How to use it in windows?

[Salight]

I have installed,but failed when converting folder. I use it like this, mritopng.convert_folder('E:\PE-detection\PE-hospital\ITA\CT300081485\420182','E:\convert\CT300081485')

and I got this error:

WindowsError Traceback (most recent call last)

@Salight Fun Fact: I incepted this project in Windows and I still use a Windows box as my primary development box for it. Hence, it should definitely work in Windows.

Here are a couple of things you can try:

1. Try a new folder as the destination folder

Try some folder other than E:\convert\CT300081485\ and see if you get the same error. I believe the code's been written to not override anything existing to not accidentally delete anything.

2. Use proper slash in Windows

I don't know what your code looks like, but in windows, for string literals representing paths, you need to use \\ instead of \ since \ is an escape character in Python

For Example: Instead of:

mritopng.convert_folder('E:\PE-detection\PE-hospital\ITA\CT300081485\420182','E:\convert\CT300081485')

Try:

mritopng.convert_folder('E:\\PE-detection\\PE-hospital\\ITA\\CT300081485\\420182','E:\\convert\\CT300081485')

@danishm Thank you.I have tried but neither works. So I turned to Linux and everything is fine.

@Salight Glad to know you've been able to make progress. I will double check on Windows before closing this out.
