PyBIDS
PyBIDS is a Python library to centralize interactions with datasets conforming BIDS (Brain Imaging Data Structure) format. For more information about BIDS visit http://bids.neuroimaging.io.
PyBIDS currently supports Python 3 on POSIX operating systems (including Mac OS). Windows is not officially supported, though most PyBIDS functionality will probably work fine.
Installation
PyBIDS is most easily installed from pip. To install the latest official release:
pip install pybids
If you want to live on the bleeding edge, you can install from master:
pip install git+https://github.com/bids-standard/pybids.git
Dependencies
PyBIDS has a number of dependencies. The core querying functionality requires only the BIDS-Validator package. However, most other modules require the core Python neuroimaging stack: numpy, scipy, pandas, and nibabel. The reports module additionally requires num2words. By default, all dependencies will be installed with pybids (if they aren't already available).
