Python interface to CATMAID servers

Project description

Documentation Status Build Status Coverage Status Binder

pymaid

Python-Catmaid - or pymaid - is a collection of Python 3 tools to interface with CATMAID servers. Tested with CATMAID release version 2020.02.15 - if you are working with older versions you may run into issues due to API changes.

Documentation

Pymaid is on ReadTheDocs.

Features

  • fetch data via CATMAID's API
  • tools to analyse user stats (e.g. time-invested, project history)
  • custom neuron classes that work with navis
  • clustering methods (e.g. by connectivity or synapse placement)

Getting started

See the documentation for detailed installation instructions, tutorials and examples. For the impatient:

pip3 install python-catmaid

Important: there is a pymaid package on PyPI which has nothing to do with this pymaid!

To install bleeding edge from Github:

pip3 install git+git://github.com/schlegelp/pymaid@master

Alternatively click on the launch binder badge above to try out pymaid hosted by mybinder!
