Julia interface to MNE-Python via PythonCall
This package uses PythonCall to make
MNE-Python available from within Julia. Unsurprisingly,
MNE-Python and its dependencies need to be installed in order for this to work
and PyMNE will attempt to install when the package is built: this should happen
more or less automatically via CondaPkg.
You can configure various options via CondaPkg. MNE-Python is installed via
Conda, not via pip.
In the same philosophy as PythonCall, this allows for the transparent use of
MNE-Python from within Julia.
The major things the package does are wrap the installation of MNE in the
package installation and load all the MNE functionality into the module
namespace.
After that, it's just a Python package accessible via using PyMNE in
Julia. The usual conversion rules and behaviors from PythonCall apply.
The tests test a few conversion gotchas, especially
compared to prior versions of this package, which were based on
PyCall.
For example, in Python you can access the MNE docs like this:
import mne
mne.open_docs()With PyMNE, you can do this from within Julia.
using PyMNE
PyMNE.open_docs()The PythonCall infrastructure also means that Python docstrings are available in Julia:
help?> PyMNE.open_docs
Python function open_docs.
Launch a new web browser tab with the MNE documentation.
