Hi Luc,

What about if it needed compiled code? For example a new compression scheme? Then they would need to make some quite substantial changes I would think. Also if we (for performance reasons) were working in C++ with the image handling adding the Python code like that would be less helpful.

Just a thought - clearly this is not a problem which has occurred yet, but I can see it happening sometime reasonably soon.

Best wishes,

Graeme

Hi Graeme,

The case I foresee is wanting people to add compiled code for reading new image formats in iotbx - it would be great if they could do this at run-time, conforming to some abstract interface.

All the user-side code in iotbx being in Python, it should be easy to do what  you propose already.

Best wishes,

Luc
