New issue 89 by scott.p....@gmail.com: Calling dicompyler as class fails
without wx installed
http://code.google.com/p/dicompyler/issues/detail?id=89

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try to import a dicompyler module from within another python code, i.e.,
>>> from dicompyler import dvhcalc

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

File "Test.py"
from dicompyler import dvhcalc
File ".../dicompyler/__init__.py"
from main import start, __version__
File ".../dicompyler/main.py"
import wx
ImportError: No module named wx

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Dicompyler 0.4.1-1 on solaris (Pinnacle box)

Please provide any additional information below.

In file __init__.py, please consider moving all import commands to within
the '__main__' code, as follows:

if __name__ == '__main__':
from main import start, __version__
import dicompyler.main()
dicompyler.main.start()

That way, one can use dicompyler as a class in other codes without having
to install wx. Thank you.

Thank you for the suggestion and code changes. I will consider this for the
next version as this change would be helpful for non-gui users.

dicompyler by itself was not intended to be used standalone without a GUI.
However, it might be considered spinning off the DICOM parser and related
modules into a separate package. That way those tools can be used by GUI
and non-GUI projects.
