aimio-py 0.1.1

Python bindings for the Numerics88 AimIO C++ library

aimio-py

Python bindings for the Numerics88 AimIO C++ library.

aimio-py provides a small Python API to read and write AIM files as NumPy arrays, inspect metadata, and work with processing logs.

Features

• Read AIM files into NumPy arrays
• Write AIM files from NumPy arrays
• Access AIM header metadata (aim_info)
• Convert processing logs between text and dictionary formats
• Optional density/HU conversion helpers

Installation

From PyPI (recommended):

pip install aimio-py

From source:

git clone https://github.com/wallematthias/aimio-py.git
cd aimio-py
git submodule update --init --recursive
pip install -e .

Quickstart

from py_aimio import read_aim, write_aim

array, meta = read_aim("scan.AIM")
write_aim("copy.AIM", array, meta)

API

• aim_info(path)
• read_aim(path, density=False, hu=False) -> (array, meta)
• write_aim(path, array, meta=None, unit=None)
• get_aim_density_equation(processing_log)
• get_aim_hu_equation(processing_log)
• log_to_dict(log)
• dict_to_log(dct)

Development

Run tests:

pytest -q

Run tests with coverage:

pytest -q --cov=py_aimio --cov-report=term-missing --cov-report=xml:coverage.xml

Build local artifacts:

python -m build --wheel --sdist

Build documentation from docstrings:

pip install sphinx
make -C docs html

Generated HTML will be in docs/build/html/index.html.

Important build note

This project depends on the external/AimIO and external/n88util git submodules. If they are missing, extension builds will fail.

Release and PyPI Publishing

Wheels and sdist are built by GitHub Actions on:

• pull_request to main/master
• pushes to main/master
• tags matching v*

When a v* tag is pushed, the workflow publishes to PyPI via trusted publishing (pypa/gh-action-pypi-publish).

See docs/PUBLISHING.md for the release checklist and docs/source/ for Sphinx documentation sources.
