Description

Hi @frheault, Hi @arokem,

I would like to start integrating TRX in DIPY.

However:

  • I see that some part of TRX depends on DIPY
  • if I add TRX as a DIPY dependency, it looks like we enter in a circular dependency which will create weird issues.

What is the best approach to solve this coming issue ?

  • Integrate TRX in Nibabel ?
  • integrate Stateful Tractogram in Nibabel (this is not the only DIPY element used in this package)
  • Integrate TRX in DIPY ?
  • Other ideas ? @garyfallidis ?

Thank you for your feedback !

Research direction

Review the TRX components that depend on DIPY and the package dependency declarations first, then compare the proposed DIPY, NiBabel, and TRX integration boundaries. Done means an integration direction is agreed that removes the circular dependency and the resulting dependency graph installs cleanly.
