Compilation of ITK from source with Python wrappers in Arch-based systems

Compilation of ITK from source with Python wrappers in Arch-based systems

Continuing the discussion from Extracting displacement fields from rigid registration:

Hello!

I am having long days trying to correctly compile ITK in Parabola GNU/Linux (based on Arch). The compilation seems successful, but itk.TransformToDisplacementFieldFilter is unusable (and probably other portions too). What are the steps that I need to follow to compile from sources (and have itk.TransformToDisplacementFieldFilter with a 3D registration)?

Thank you in advance :slight_smile: .

How I built

In summary, all remote plugins are disabled and the compilation is for my specific architecture (-march=native -mtune=native).

To improve my odds, I tried a script (of my own to install in a custom directory) and `PKGBUILD`s. The use of -G Ninja is for better memory management, and samu (samurai) is a ninja-compatible build tool.

Script

To have a more successful and quicker compilation, I am running this from a virtual terminal (no GUI) with the least number of background processes (e.g. no network!).

Actual result

The code which is referenced at the top of this post works well in both cases, but itk.TransformToDisplacementFieldFilter does not load in neither. In both cases (below), I tried this:

python

import itk

import itk.TransformToDisplacementFieldFilter

PKGBUILD (system installation)

File "/usr/lib/python3.10/itk/support/lazy.py", line 125, in __getattribute__
    value = types.ModuleType.__getattribute__(self, attr)
AttributeError: module 'itk' has no attribute 'TransformToDisplacementFieldFilter'

Script (custom directory)

cd pkg_test/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "pkg_test/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/itk/support/lazy.py", line 125, in __getattribute__
    value = types.ModuleType.__getattribute__(self, attr)
AttributeError: module 'itk' has no attribute 'TransformToDisplacementFieldFilter'

Expected result

I need to get the displacement field of a registration, and would like to use itk.TransformToDisplacementFieldFilter.

BUILD_SHARED_LIBS might need to be OFF when doing Python wrapping. @Tom_Birdsong recently ran into that issue.

Tom, is that a general problem or was that specific to your machine?

Hi @edgar, thank you for the great summary of what you’ve tried so far!

I noticed that your example has two import statements. The following fails for me, though with a ModuleNotFoundError as opposed to the AttributeError that you are seeing:

>>> import itk
>>> import itk.TransformToDisplacementFieldFilter
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'itk.TransformToDisplacementFieldFilter'

Meanwhile, the following successfully loads on Windows 10 with Python 3.8.5:

>>> import itk
>>> itk.auto_progress(2)
>>> itk.TransformToDisplacementFieldFilter
Loading ITKPyBase... done
Loading ITKCommon... done
Loading ITKImageSources... done
Loading ITKStatistics... done
Loading ITKImageFilterBase... done

Loading ITKConvolution... done
Loading ITKSmoothing... done
Loading ITKDisplacementField... done
<itkTemplate itk::TransformToDisplacementFieldFilter>
>>> itk.ITKDisplacementField
<module 'ITKDisplacementField'>

Could you please try the second example with exactly one import statement and let us know whether that solves your problem?

If not, the AttributeError seems to imply that something is not being configured correctly so that ITK can find the filter in the ITKDisplacementField Python module. Please check the contents of the ITKDisplacementField config file (the path will likely be similar to ITK-build/Wrapping/Generators/Python/itk/Configuration/ITKDisplacementFieldConfig.py) and let us know if you see entries for TransformToDisplacementFieldFilter in the file. I am able to recreate an AttributeError by removing the lines in my config file that relate to this filter:

>>> import itk
>>> itk.TransformToDisplacementFieldFilter
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "ITK-build\Wrapping\Generators\Python\itk\support\lazy.py", line 130, in __getattribute__
    value = types.ModuleType.__getattribute__(self, attr)
AttributeError: module 'itk' has no attribute 'TransformToDisplacementFieldFilter'

If you do not see any entries relating to TransformToDisplacementFieldFilter in your config file then it probably means some CMake setting is not set properly for wrapping the filter. In that case I would suggest that you visit the TransformToDisplacementFieldFilter.wrap file and then revisit the CMake variables relevant to vector template wrappings. At a glance I don’t see anything wrong with your CMake input, but that file would be the place to debug with message(STATUS "") CMake printouts.

As @dzenanz said I did recently run into an issue where I needed to set both BUILD_STATIC_LIBS=ON and BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON, but that problem also involved modules being built for the wrong Python version, which I don’t believe is the case here. If the above effort is unsuccessful I would suggest setting these variables and rerunning the build process to see if it helps.

Hi, Tom [@Tom_Birdsong]. Thank all of you for ITK and your awesome help.

This is the result after I recompiled with BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF (as suggested by DĹľenan [@dzenanz]).

>>> import itk; itk.auto_progress(2); itk.TransformToDisplacementFieldFilter
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "pkg_test/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/itk/support/lazy.py", line 125, in __getattribute__
    value = types.ModuleType.__getattribute__(self, attr)
AttributeError: module 'itk' has no attribute 'TransformToDisplacementFieldFilter'

With the system’s installation (shared libraries; with BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON)

>>> import itk
>>> itk.auto_progress(2)
>>> itk.TransformToDisplacementFieldFilter
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

AttributeError: module 'itk' has no attribute 'TransformToDisplacementFieldFilter'

TransformToDisplacementFieldFilter is not in ITKDisplacementFieldConfig.py:

awk 'BEGIN{b=0}  /TransformToDisplacementFieldFilter/{b=1} END{if(b){a = "found"}else{a = "not found"}; print a}' "build/Wrapping/Generators/Python/itk/Configuration/ITKDisplacementFieldConfig.py"

not found

It seems that itkTransformToDisplacementFieldFilter.wrap does not exist either:

[[ -e Modules/Filtering/DisplacementField/wrapping ]] && echo "Path exists"
[[ ! -f Modules/Filtering/DisplacementField/wrapping/itkTransformToDisplacementFieldFilter.wrap ]] && echo "File does not exist"

Path exists
File does not exist

The file is not in the tar-ball, apparently:

found=(tar -ztvf ../insight-toolkit-5.2.1.tar.gz | grep itkTransformToDisplacementFieldFilter.wrap)
[[ -n $found ]] && echo "File is in tar ball" || echo "File is not in tar ball"

File is not in tar ball

I will download itkTransformToDisplacementFieldFilter.wrap and put it in the right place to see if that solves my situation. Thank you a lot :slight_smile: .

I did not catch it from your earlier post, but in this case I would recommend getting the ITK source code directly via the main branch on Github rather than from the website. The latest ITK 5.3 pre-release is available at https://github.com/InsightSoftwareConsortium/ITK/tree/v5.3rc03, or up-to-date developments are available on the master branch at [GitHub - InsightSoftwareConsortium/ITK: Insight Toolkit (ITK) -- Official Repository. ITK builds on a proven, spatially-oriented architecture for processing, segmentation, and registration of scientific images in two, three, or more dimensions.](GitHub - InsightSoftwareConsortium/ITK: Insight Toolkit (ITK) -- Official Repository. ITK builds on a proven, spatially-oriented architecture for processing, segmentation, and registration of scientific images in two, three, or more dimensions.. You can download source code either with a Git client such as Git Bash or as a .ZIP archive.

The tarball distributed at https://itk.org/download/ is from the latest official release, which may be missing some features. In this case, the Python wrapping for itk.TransformToDisplacementFieldFilter was added after ITK 5.2.1 was released and is not directly available in the tarball.

With that said, adding itkTransformToDisplacementFieldFilter.wrap to your existing project may solve the issue. However, please be aware that many other wrappings may not be available until you update to a more recent version.

Great stuff! Thank you, Tom [@Tom_Birdsong] and Dženan [@dzenanz]. I won’t be able to report back very soon, because something came up in my life just now (may be a couple of weeks).

Good news: I managed to compile, install and run import itk; itk.TransformToDisplacementFieldFilter. If someone is interested, you can visit this repo. Thank you both.

@edgar Hey, there is itk package maintained at ArchLinuxCN repo, you could install itk package from there without building it from the source for ArchLinux.
As mentioned by @Tom_Birdsong, the module you need is added after v5.2.1, you could also try itk-git and python-itk-git. The PKGBUILD file is available for itk-git, python-itk-git and itk, python-itk.

Thank you. I have seen your work and that of others on the AUR. However, I had to find something which worked for me and relied on free(dom) software alone :slight_smile: .

Also, I am planning to use different remote modules, and the branch that I posted earlier is just the “base”. I hope that some of my work is useful to you as well.

Ok. It could be a good start to build itk and python-itk. To add more module, you only need to add -DModule_MODULENAME=ON to the PKGBUILD.

Thanks. If you look into the repo, you’ll see that the PKGBUILD differs in various ways from what you have beyond the modules. There is a branch which already includes extra remote modules. Also, I had to use specific environment variables to make it work. There is also a way to get the sources directly from the server of ITK to have true offline building of the modules. Anyway, thank you for the interest and sharing your repo.
