[ITK-users] Future of WrapITK

[michkapopoff at gmail.com]

Hi

we have been working on Wrapping so the development is going on. 
Some small improvements were made for ITK 4.7.

I ported most of the code to Python3, but we have still an error which we have been working on, but is tricky to tackle.
I hope to get this done for ITK 4.8, and it will need some testing.

Fixing the problem for Clang is also under way, I don’t know how much resources we can put in it but I am hoping also for ITK 4.8, though I can not
promise anything here.

If you really need ITK wrappings on OS X, you can try my ITK binaries for homebrew: https://github.com/iMichka/homebrew-MacVTKITKPythonBottles <https://github.com/iMichka/homebrew-MacVTKITKPythonBottles>
(Please open a ticket on the github page if you have any trouble with these binaries).

If you would like to help, there are a lot of things to do on the wrapping code.
(Writing examples for the ITK examples website is a good way to start with).

For SimpleITK vs Wrapping, it all depends on what image types you want to analyse, and what filters you want to use.

The software is developed and packages are released for 64-bit Windows, Linux and OS X. The problem is that ITK 4.6.1 with Python wrappings can be built only for Linux. It seems that there is no way around the issues with GCCXML and new Visual Studio in Win or Clang in OS X 10.9.
