nipype noob here thank you for developing this software packages its very help but I am running to into simply problem by reading in a source_dir PAT001 containing 201 dcm files convert into nii file for developing pipeline for a deeplearning model

OSError: [WinError 10038] An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket

Summary

# change these for your system
dcm_folder = 'D:\L_pipe\DataScienceDeck\DataScienceDeck\Data\Data_input\PAT001' ## our input is the number 201 dcm files 
output_folder = 'D:\L_pipe\DataScienceDeck\DataScienceDeck\Data\Data_output\output_nifti'

def convert_dcm_2_nii_x(dcm_folder, output_folder):
    converter = Dcm2niix()

    print(len(dcm_folder))

    converter.inputs.source_dir = dcm_folder
    converter.inputs.output_dir = output_folder
    converter.inputs.compress = 'i'
    converter.run()
    return print("done")

from nipype.interfaces.dcm2nii import Dcm2nii

Actual behavior

I am pretty sure dcm2nii code is running because it generates a bunch of .nii files

Expected behavior

Script/Workflow details

I have the same issue and error,windows socket error. How to solve ?

Hi, the problem is that we don't support Windows (this is issue #3277). We'd be happy to accept a patch from someone with a Windows machine. You can also try using the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), but I don't have any experience there.

it will be a weekend project for me when I get around to it after work.

Thank you for getting back on this issue. @Gresliebear That would be great. Please do keep me posted.

Hi. Is there any news on the compatibility of dcm2niix for windows? The socket error still persists for me. As I mentioned in this issue: https://github.com/rordenlab/dcm2niix/issues/609

I have recently come into possession of a Windows machine, so when I have the opportunity, I can try to debug this. Making nipype Windows compatible will be a major effort, though. Have you looked into Pydra? Or using the WSL?

any luck ? it seems there are more users hitting this: https://neurostars.org/t/dcm2niix-error-using-heudiconv/26759
