wxpyNautilus

Welcome aboard Nautilus! ¹ This is a python package based on matplotlib/wxPython and wx.py.shell extension library.

The goal of our journey is the rapid development of image processing (using cv2/pillow) and the graphical user interfaces (using matplotlib/wxpython). To accomplish this, the framework consists of two main classes:

1. A plugin-style GUI mainframe

   A Plugin means a python script file to process images, which user can load, edit, reload, unload, and debug without terminating the program.

   

2. An interactive shellframe

   You can communicate with the main process using an interactive shell, inspect, test, and debug the code at runtime.

   

Getting Started

Prerequisites

This software works with Python 3.8 and later versions.

1. Download the zip file from wxpyNautilus GitHub repository and extract it to a suitable directory.

2. Install mwxlib from PyPI.

   $ pip install mwxlib
   

The mwxlib depends on the following packages:

• wxPython (Phoenix)
• matplotlib
• numpy
• pillow
• opencv-python

2. For Python 3.6 -- 3.9, wxpython >= 4.1.1 is required. For Python 3.10, wxpython >= 4.2.0 is required. You can also download the latest snapshot from https://wxpython.org/Phoenix/snapshot-builds/. ↩
