Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

As suggested in discussion "TM, DA converters?" tags DA, DT, TM could be 
converted to datetime objects:

Please find a proof-of-concept here:

For now tested on a pair of DICOM files only. Just wanted some feedback before 
adding comments and testing more extensively.

I have a new version with a dicom.config.datetime_conversion switch to toggle 
between previous behavior and conversion to datetime objects.

Any additional changes?

Looks good. Adding unit tests would be much appreciated, for some normal values 
and for some corner cases.  Also I didn't notice anything yet on the writing 
side -- the existing "round-trip" read/write unit tests (a couple of files 
maybe) could be copied to do tests with the config conversion on.

I have added unit tests and documentation:

Which are the "round-trip" read/write tests to run with the config conversion 
on?

And by the way, I must admit I'm not sure what needs to be added on the writing 
side. A standalone function to create a data element from a datetime object? 
But that's not in the filewriter code, is t?

I seldom use the part of pydicom that writes DICOM files. I've spent a few 
hours on it  and I think I have understood enough of it:
- to add a test by merely inheriting WriteFileTests,
- to fix dataelem.py so that DA, DT, TM data elements are still created as 
strings if datetime_conversion is not set.

I'm not sure I'm doing the right thing when it comes to initializing data 
elements from datetime objects - see the __new__() method of DA, DT, TM classes.

Hi Dimitri,
I've had a look through the code and everything looks good.  I'll pull it into 
my local clone and go through it in more detail.
