[ITK-users] Python wrapping issue

Wed Oct 14 11:32:39 EDT 2015

Hi Paolo,

a couple of thoughts from my own experiences on various platforms. I haven’t had any problems with ITK on Ubuntu, when used with the standard system Python 2.7, so some of these might not apply:

Do you happen to have several different Python distributions on your computer? I have seen such crashing when the ITK was built against one distribution and then used in another. I have also had some difficulties with using ITK Python wrapping on Anaconda. It might also be a compiler compatibility problem, ie. if the Python distribution has been compiled with a different compiler than ITK, but I wouldn’t expect this on Ubuntu, as everything is built with the same GNU compilers.

Best,

Sami
