Python bindings for BART.
This repo contains code to generate an updated Python wrapper for the Berkeley Advance Reconstruction Toolbox. The repo aims to expose command line tools and internal library functions to Python users.
The command line tools can be listed by running bart from the command line:
Each of these has been exposed to the command-line via the bartpy.tools library:
For users looking to integrate BART functions into existing Python workflows, and work fluidly with Numpy, SigPy, or other scientific packages, bartpy.tools should suffice!
[In Development] For developers looking to build Python tools using BART's internal C functions, the internal library functions expose BART's development libraries to the user. This is currently under production and not accessible via the master branch.
BART version 0.7.00. It is important that running a bart command with the --interface option is successful. For example, you should see something like the following for running bart fft --interface:
Ensure you have Python >= 3.6 and run pip install -r requirements.txt to install necessary dependencies.
Once BART and the required libraries are installed, clone this repo.
To support the growth of BART with minimal overhead, the Python code is autogenerated from a user's BART installation. Run python3 setup.py install to build the tools library and install it. If successful, you should be able to import bartpy.tools and interface with the tutorials located in the demos folder.
Before working with the demos folder, unzip data.zip; this file contains the necessary datasets for the demos.
