PyRhO TODO List

Priority

• Make more functions and variables private and use __all__ and del to tidy namespace
• Documentation
  • Finish docstrings (rST)
  • Generate more documentation with Sphinx
  • Add to http://pythonhosted.org/PyRhO and/or https://readthedocs.org/
• Testing
  • Add more asserts, warnings and write unit tests with py.test or nose
  • Standardise testing different versions with tox
  • Add Continuous Integration with Travis
• Update GUI to work with ipywidgets >= 5.x
• Store parameters (and data) as JSON/plain text where possible

Mid-Term

• Add more tutorial notebooks
• Extend database of modelFits and add general with a wide range
• Change flux units to mW/mm^2
• Move GUI to submodule and add modelFits dropdowns (fitting and simulating)
• Remove v_1 as a parameter, add procedure to mod files (and add a dummy scaling factor for FV)

Long-Term

• GUI for Brian
• Implement automatic unit handling and conversions
• Backport to Python 2: 2.7
• Incorporate additional independent variables
  • Temperature (Q10)
  • Wavelength
  • pH (intracellular and extracellular)

Ideas

• Suffix all parameters to avoid clashes with Brian
• Use Neo or Stimfit for handling photocurrents
• Use pandas for organising metadata
• Use NeuroTools/parameters for importing and exporting models
