[Ctk-developers] ctkDICOMBrowser - access to database from python?

[Nicole Aucoin]

Hello,

I'm working with a ctkDICOMBrowser from a python script but having 
problems getting at the database to add data programatically. I've seen 
that the browser uses the application's QSettings to determine the 
database directory, it's creating and opening a database okay (verified 
by adding some checks to the C++ file), but from python the 
dicomBrowser.database call is always coming back as None.

Here's a code snippet that I'm running from the Python console in 3D Slicer:

# use the default settings for the database directory
dicomBrowser = ctk.ctkDICOMBrowser()
print dicomBrowser.database

It always prints None even though I see my print out from the 
setDatabaseDirectory method that shows isOpen() being true on the non 
null database.

Is this a bug in the Python wrapping of the QSharedPointer of the 
database variable? Or are there some more steps that I need to include 
or a different way to access it?

thanks,
Nicole
