Summary0002151: Document python scripting API
Description

Slicer Developers,
I am developing a Python scripted module in Slicer 4. It would enhance my debugging ability to access the module itself and/or functions defined in the module from the Slicer Python interpreter. Is this possible? Is there a reference to better understand how Slicer modules, particular scripted modules, are wrapped in Python? Thanks.

Curt

From Steve Pieper - June 1st, 2012:

Hi Curt -

There's some information here from the January meeting:

http://www.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/AHM2012-Slicer-Python

What I tend to do is create an entry in my ~/.slicerrc.py file that sets up a hot key to reload the module and create a new instance of it. I set a global python variable for the new instance and that lets me easily access the module gui and logic using the console (i.e. tab complete for methods and properties, setting values, calling methods...). This also lets you modify the source code and test it in slicer without having to restart.
