BrainVISA

Would anyone mind sharing a minimalistic python script to make use of anatomist from interactive (ipython) session. I've tried to "tesselate" neuro.py to reduce it to the point sufficient to simply run a=Anatomist.anatomist() but gave up for now since probably many of you do use such simple scripts

Thank you in advance!

Hi,
you are talking about the API to control Anatomist from Brainvisa, right ?
The simplest way is to run brainvisa with the --shell commandline option: it will open BV in an interactive IPython shell. Then you can import Anatomist and run your a=Anatomist.anatomist() command.
All the Anatomist communication stuff in brainvisa is in the Anatomist.py source.
Alternatively, you can pass a python script to brainvisa using the -e option. Such a script can use the brainvisa API.
