[Insight-users] Python and ITK

[Gaetan Lehmann]

Hi,

ITK tree is more complex than vtk tree, because ITK make an intensive use of 
c++ templates. Also, you have surely noticed that ITK's python module is 
poorly structured, and far from the quality of vtk's one. You'll not find 
method signature, but you can get the superclass of a class with __base__ (or 
__bases__) attribute.

Also, if you're interested in finding the elements in itk module (or even only 
using python wrappers), you should look at WrapITK - itk module is a lot more 
structured.
