External Email - Use Caution
No problem Georgios,
It’s easily done. I’ll check if we can streamline the patching process.
I’ve written a bit of an explanation below in case you or anyone else on the freesurfer list comes across a problem like this again.
Best wishes,
Henry
===========================
Explanation:
Many of the network-based tools in freesurfer are distributed as python scripts which build a tensorflow or pytorch network, load the model weights from $FREESURFER_HOME/models and push the data through. As changing the combination of python package versions can have unexpected effects, freesurfer comes with its own python environment “fspython”. For these python-based tools the files in $FREESURFER_HOME/bin are shell scripts that run some checks then pass the python scripts in $FREESURFER_HOME/python/scritps and any arguments to the fspython environment.
In this case replacing the file in the bin directory with the python code likely meant it was running in your local python environment using different package versions. A clue to this is the deprecation warning mentioning numpy version 1.25 as the version in fspython is 1.24.3
