OMERO Python Language Bindings

Using the  Ice Python language mapping from  http://zeroc.com, OMERO provides access to your data within an OmeroBlitz server from Python code.

Using the OmeroPy libraries

The Python libraries are automatically generated for all builds since they are used internally. They are placed under OMERO_HOME/dist/lib/python. To use OmeroPy, setup you'll need to setup your PYTHONPATH:

  PYTHONPATH=$HOME/omero-src/dist/lib/python
  python

A trivial example

  import omero
  c = omero.client()
  try:
      s = c.createSession()

      # IAdmin is responsible for all user/group creation, password changing, etc.
      admin  = s.getAdminService()

      # Who you are logged in as.
      print admin.getEventContext().userName

      # These two services are used for database access
      query = s.getQueryService()
      update = s.getUpdateService()
  finally:"
      c.closeSession() # "del c" MAY also call the client's destructor
