The error message:

import pydicom as dicomio

ImportError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-1-102814c2908e> in <module>()
----> 1 import pydicom as dicomio
ImportError: No module named pydicom
To install pydicom I used
conda skeleton pypi pydicom
conda build pydicom
Then uploaded to binstar and used conda install -c to download and install it again. It can now be seen in the anaconda environment.
Lindas-iMac:~ iMacLinda$ conda list -e | grep pydi
pydicom=0.9.9=py27_0
Thank you for your help.
The pydicom package is importable as dicom
until version 0.9.9. The documentation on read the docs is for the unreleased master branch version 1.0, in which the package name has changed to pydicom
.
Thus, try importing pydicom as:
import dicom
If you need to read a file, you can use the command:
ds = dicom.read_file('filename.dcm')
Once pydicom 1.0 is released, you can follow the wiki page for porting instructions.
Thanks again for your reply Mike.
The information published at http://www.pydicom.readthedocs.org seems to be incorrect.
I have just found some alternative documentation at http://www.pyscience.wordpress.com
Pydicom can be imported within python as dicom and not as pydicom:
>>>import dicom as dicomio
This seemed to work.
If you use pydicom version < 1.0 then you should use import dicom
. But if you use pydicom version >= 1.0 then you should install dicom first, then you can import pydicom
.
