Modernize package structure for better usability and maintainability #7
Description
Problem
pyNeuroMatic currently lacks modern Python package infrastructure.
First issue addressed here:
- ❌ GUI dependencies exist even for non-GUI users
Proposed Solution
Restructure pyNeuroMatic as follows:
pyNeuroMatic/
├── pyneuromatic/ # Main package (lowercase)
│ ├── core/ # Data structures, I/O
│ ├── analysis/ # Analysis algorithms
│ ├── visualization/ # Matplotlib plots
│ └── gui/ # Optional GUI (separate)
├── tests/ # Automated tests
├── docs/ # Sphinx documentation
├── examples/ # Jupyter notebooks
└── pyproject.toml # Modern packaging
Key Changes
1. Separate GUI from Core
# Core: works without GUI
pip install pyneuromatic
import pyneuromatic as pnm
spikes = pnm.detect_spikes(data)
# GUI: optional
pip install pyneuromatic[gui]
pyneuromatic-gui
### Benefits
- ✅ Use without GUI on servers
- ✅ Clear code organization
- ✅ Easier to maintain
- ✅ Wider adoption
