[Insight-developers] Python wrapping of IO plugin

[Bradley Lowekamp]

Hello David,

The standard place to place local modules is in:

ITK/Modules/External

If you add some file to the wrapping subdirectory along the lines of the other IO modules when you compile ITK, with you module turned on along with WrapITK, the you IO should be there to manually register.

https://github.com/Kitware/ITK/tree/master/Modules/IO/Meta/wrapping

Alternatively you could do what is described as an IO Plugin, by building ITK shared and, adding the itkLoad method to you module.

I would not do both.

With the python method the library is manually linked in at compile time and loaded, also you need to manually register the IO factory. Where as with the IO Plugin, if the library is in the ITK_AUTOLOAD_PATH, it'll be loaded at linked time and the factory registered then.
