You can run Python code from C++ using [`pythonManager->executeString`](http://pythonManager-%3EexecuteString).

If you want to import DICOM files from a folder then you can create ctkDICOMIndexer independent from the one in the DICOM browser as shown in [this example](https://github.com/commontk/CTK/blob/master/Libs/DICOM/Core/Testing/Cpp/ctkDICOMIndexerTest1.cpp#L36-L51).
