class heudiconv.utils.TempDirs¶: A helper to centralize handling and cleanup of dirs

heudiconv.utils.anonymize_sid(sid: AnyStr, anon_sid_cmd: str) → AnyStr¶

Raises:: ValueError – if script returned an empty string (after whitespace stripping), or output with multiple words/lines.

heudiconv.utils.assure_no_file_exists(path: str | Path) → None¶: Check if file or symlink (git-annex?) exists, and if so – remove

heudiconv.utils.clear_temp_dicoms(item_dicoms: list[str]) → None¶: Ensures DICOM temporary directories are safely cleared

heudiconv.utils.create_file_if_missing(filename: str, content: str) → bool¶: Create file if missing, so we do not override any possibly introduced changes

Given a list of tuples (name, load) or a dict create such a tree

if load is a tuple or a dict itself – that would create either a subtree or an archive with that content and place it into the tree if name ends with .tar.gz

heudiconv.utils.docstring_parameter(*sub: str) → Callable[[T], T]¶: Borrowed from https://stackoverflow.com/a/10308363/6145776

heudiconv.utils.get_datetime(date: str, time: str, *, microseconds: bool = True) → str¶

Combine date and time from dicom to isoformat.

Parameters:

date (str) – Date in YYYYMMDD format.
time (str) – Time in either HHMMSS.ffffff format or HHMMSS format.
microseconds (bool, optional) – Either to include microseconds in the output

Returns:

datetime_str – Combined date and time in ISO format, with microseconds as if fraction was provided in ‘time’, and ‘microseconds’ was True.

Return type:

str

heudiconv.utils.get_known_heuristic_names() → list[str]¶: Return a list of heuristic names present under heudiconv/heuristics

heudiconv.utils.get_typed_attr(obj: Any, attr: str, _type: type[T], default: V) → T | V¶

heudiconv.utils.get_typed_attr(obj: Any, attr: str, _type: type[T], default: None = None) → T | None

Typecasts an object’s named attribute. If the attribute cannot be converted, the default value is returned instead.

Parameters:

obj (Object) –
attr (Attribute) –
_type (Type) –
default (value, optional) –

heudiconv.utils.is_readonly(path: str) → bool¶: Return True if it is a fully read-only file (dereferences the symlink)

heudiconv.utils.json_dumps(json_obj: Any, indent: int = 2, sort_keys: bool = True) → str¶: Unified (default indent and sort_keys) invocation of json.dumps

heudiconv.utils.json_dumps_pretty(j: Any, indent: int = 2, sort_keys: bool = True) → str¶

Given a json structure, pretty print it by colliding numeric arrays into a line.

If resultant structure differs from original – throws exception

heudiconv.utils.load_heuristic(heuristic: str) → module¶: Load heuristic from the file, return the module

heudiconv.utils.load_json(filename: str | Path, retry: int = 0) → Any¶

Load data from a json file

Parameters:

filename (str or Path) – Filename to load data from.
retry (int, optional) – Number of times to retry opening/loading the file in case of failure. Code will sleep for 0.1 seconds between retries. Could be used in code which is not sensitive to order effects (e.g. like populating bids templates where the last one to do it, would make sure it would be the correct/final state).

Returns:

data

Return type:

dict

heudiconv.utils.remove_prefix(s: str, pre: str) → str¶

Remove prefix from the beginning of the string

Parameters:

s (str) –
pre (str) –

Returns:

s – string with “pre” removed from the beginning (if present)

Return type:

str

heudiconv.utils.remove_suffix(s: str, suf: str) → str¶

Remove suffix from the end of the string

Parameters:

s (str) –
suf (str) –

Returns:

s – string with “suf” removed from the end (if present)

Return type:

str

heudiconv.utils.safe_copyfile(src: str, dest: str, overwrite: bool = False) → None¶: Copy file but blow if destination name already exists

heudiconv.utils.safe_movefile(src: str, dest: str, overwrite: bool = False) → None¶: Move file but blow if destination name already exists

heudiconv.utils.save_json(filename: str | Path, data: Any, indent: int = 2, sort_keys: bool = True, pretty: bool = False) → None¶

Save data to a json file

Parameters:

filename (str or Path) – Filename to save data in.
data (dict) – Dictionary to save in json file.
indent (int, optional) –
sort_keys (bool, optional) –
pretty (bool, optional) –

heudiconv.utils.set_readonly(path: str, read_only: bool = True) → int¶

Make file read only or writeable while preserving “access levels”

So if file was not readable by others, it should remain not readable by others.

Parameters:

path (str) –
read_only (bool, optional) – If True (default) - would make it read-only. If False, would make it writeable for levels where it is readable

heudiconv.utils.slim_down_info(j: dict[str, Any]) → dict[str, Any]¶

Given an aggregated info structure, removes excessive details

Such as CSA fields, and SourceImageSequence which on Siemens files could be huge and not providing any additional immediately usable information. If needed, could be recovered from stored DICOMs

heudiconv.utils.strptime_micr(date_string: str, fmt: str) → datetime¶

Decorate strptime while supporting optional [.%f] in the format at the end

Parameters:

date_string (str) – Date string to parse
fmt (str) – Format string. If it ends with [.%f], we keep it if date_string ends with ‘.d+’ regex and not if it does not.

heudiconv.utils.treat_infofile(filename: str) → None¶: Tune up generated .json file (slim down, pretty-print for humans).

heudiconv.utils.update_json(json_file: str | Path, new_data: dict[str, Any], pretty: bool = False) → None¶

Adds a given field (and its value) to a json file

Parameters:

json_file (str or Path) – path for the corresponding json file
new_data (dict) – pair of “key”: “value” to add to the json file
pretty (bool) – argument to be passed to save_json
