Current neuroimaging software offer users an incredible opportunity to

analyze data using a variety of different algorithms. However, this has

resulted in a heterogeneous collection of specialized applications

without transparent interoperability or a uniform operating interface.



*Nipype*, an open-source, community-developed initiative under the

umbrella of NiPy, is a Python project that provides a uniform interface

to existing neuroimaging software and facilitates interaction between

these packages within a single workflow. Nipype provides an environment

that encourages interactive exploration of algorithms from different

packages (e.g., SPM, FSL, FreeSurfer, AFNI, Slicer, ANTS), eases the

design of workflows within and between packages, and reduces the

learning curve necessary to use different packages. Nipype is creating a

collaborative platform for neuroimaging software development in a

high-level language and addressing limitations of existing pipeline

systems.



*Nipype* allows you to:



* easily interact with tools from different software packages

* combine processing steps from different software packages

* develop new workflows faster by reusing common steps from old ones

* process data faster by running it in parallel on many cores/machines

* make your research easily reproducible

* share your processing workflows with the community

Python 2 Statement

------------------



Python 2.7 reaches its end-of-life in January 2020, which means it will

*no longer be maintained* by Python developers. `Many projects

`__ are removing support in advance of this

deadline, which will make it increasingly untenable to try to support

Python 2, even if we wanted to.



The final series with 2.7 support is 1.3.x. If you have a package using

Python 2 and are unable or unwilling to upgrade to Python 3, then you

should use the following `dependency

`__ for

Nipype::



    nipype<1.4



Bug fixes will be accepted against the ``maint/1.3.x`` branch.



Support and Communication

-------------------------



If you have a problem or would like to ask a question about how to do something in Nipype please open an issue to

`NeuroStars.org `_ with a *nipype* tag. `NeuroStars.org `_  is a

platform similar to StackOverflow but dedicated to neuroinformatics.



To participate in the Nipype development related discussions please use the following mailing list::



       http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/neuroimaging



Please add *[nipype]* to the subject line when posting on the mailing list.



You can even hangout with the Nipype developers in their

`Gitter `_ channel or in the BrainHack `Slack `_ channel. (Click `here `_ to join the Slack workspace.)
