A simple Orthanc python plugin based framework to extend Orthanc’s feature set with testable python scripts. It focusses on integration and orchestration scripts, like study routing, event notifications and audit logging.

- Documentation: https://orthanc-server-extensions.readthedocs.io.
- run (integration) tests for your Orthanc python scripts
- currently supports handling of change events
Improve developer happiness: the development roundtrip is just a little bit long to build, run and test a function, even with Docker. With this library, you can start from the unit tests, move to integration tests, and then deploy the result in the Docker image.
Enable testability: the Orthanc API is provided as a module which is not easy to mock in a clean way. Orthanc server extensions provide a few simple abstractions that keep functions clean and independently testable.
Httpx was chosen as a base library to access the Orthanc API, rather than orthanc.RestApi*, because it is well known, developer friendly, and external API access avoids deadlocks in the Python plugin (before this was solved in 3.1).
docker-compose up --build should greet you with 'orthanc started event handled!' message and provides the first boilerplate
to get started.
This project would obviously not exist without Orthanc, its documentation and its community.
This package was created with Cookiecutter and the audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage project template.
