Hi all,  
I was wondering if it is possible to write a scripted Python module that can be used both via GUI and command line.

Thanks a lot.

Paolo

Hi Paolo -

Sure, you should be able to add a cli wrapper that uses the same logic classes as a a module’s GUI uses. If it’s just python code it could use any python or if you have dependencies you could either use PythonSlicer or `Slicer --no-splash --no-main-window` to run it.
