Hi everyone!

I am trying to create a scripted module using [Sequences](https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Nightly/Extensions/Sequences) extension. I was wondering if, from the python console, there is a way to use a loadable module in the same way than a CLI (`slicer.cli.run(slicer.modules.<cli-module-name>,parameters)`), or if there is a way to access the interface in order to specify the inputs and click on the buttons in the same way than a scripted module (`slicer.modules.<scripted-module-name>Widget`) ?

Any help will be appreciated! Thanks in advance!  
Laura

All classes of Sequences extension are available in Python. Sequence registration module is a good example showing how to create and manipulate sequences: [https://github.com/moselhy/SlicerSequenceRegistration/blob/master/SequenceRegistration/SequenceRegistration.py](https://github.com/moselhy/SlicerSequenceRegistration/blob/master/SequenceRegistration/SequenceRegistration.py)

Thank you so much for your help. I managed to create a sequence and to run it by using the _vtkMRMLSequenceNode_ and _vtkMRMLSequenceBrowserNode_ classes ! I have unfortunately an issue about these particular classes, so I opened another topic [here](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/modification-of-models-color-in-a-vtkmrmlsequencenode/1166).
