FYI: I'm also seeing sporadic 500 Errors on my end and Robbie from VFB says they had a massive outage and are still recovering.

Haha, I don't think so. From what Robbie told me it's a mix of hardware and certificate issues.

Just to leave a note that [threadpoolctl](https://github.com/joblib/threadpoolctl) might be handy here to avoid multiple layers of concurrency. Will see if it does the trick.

Leaving another breadcrumb: on ARM Macs, `pykdtree` seems to be compiled with openmp support. Also: I tried `threadpoolctl` in the past and it didn't work 🤷

Closing assuming this is fixed.

Yes, in theory! In practice it depends a bit on what exactly it is you are after. The `obj` format is (to my knowledge) most commonly used for meshes, i.e....

That functionality fortunately already exists. Here's a minimal example: ```python >>> import pymaid >>> import navis >>> # Grab your CATMAID skeleton >>> s = pymaid.get_neuron() >>> type(s) pymaid.core.CatmaidNeuron >>>...

Works just fine using the public VFB instance: ```python >>> import pymaid >>> rm = pymaid.CatmaidInstance("https://fafb.catmaid.virtualflybrain.org/", api_token=None, project_id=1) >>> pymaid.get_annotation_details(13686) annotation skeleton_id time_annotated user_id annotation_id user 0 FBbt:00110930 13686 2021-07-27...

Maybe @tomka can weigh in?

Looking at the dendextend package for R, they only do alphanumerical label sorting in their [tanglegram](https://talgalili.github.io/dendextend/reference/tanglegram.html) function to align the trees. I imagine several minutes per run will be prohibitive...
