Neuroimaging in Python — NiBabel 5.4.0.dev1+g3b1c7b37 documentation (original) (raw)

environment¶

Settings from the system environment relevant to NIPY

get_home_dir¶

nibabel.environment.get_home_dir()¶

Return the closest possible equivalent to a ‘home’ directory.

The path may not exist; code using this routine should not expect the directory to exist.

Parameters:

None

Returns:

home_dirstring

best guess at location of home directory

get_nipy_system_dir¶

nibabel.environment.get_nipy_system_dir()¶

Get systemwide NIPY configuration file directory

On posix systems this will be /etc/nipy. On Windows, the directory is less useful, but by default it will beC:\etc\nipy

The path may well not exist; code using this routine should not expect the directory to exist.

Parameters:

None

Returns:

nipy_dirstring

path to systemwide NIPY configuration directory

Examples

pth = get_nipy_system_dir()

get_nipy_user_dir¶

nibabel.environment.get_nipy_user_dir()¶

Get the NIPY user directory

This uses the logic in get_home_dir to find the home directory and the adds either .nipy or _nipy to the end of the path.

We check first in environment variable NIPY_USER_DIR, otherwise returning the default of <homedir>/.nipy (Unix) or<homedir>/_nipy (Windows)

The path may well not exist; code using this routine should not expect the directory to exist.

Parameters:

None

Returns:

nipy_dirstring

path to user’s NIPY configuration directory

Examples

pth = get_nipy_user_dir()
