[ome-devel] Python import API (was: Release of OMERO 5.2.2)

[Niko Ehrenfeuchter]

Dear all,

congratulations to the release and many many thanks for all the effort!

I do have one small question though: as discussed with J-M and Sebastien 
during last year's meeting in Paris, it would be extremely helpful if 
the Python API call for importing an image into OMERO would report the 
ID of the new image after a successful import.

We are currently in the process of shifting one processing workflow to 
use OMERO as the *only* backend, meaning the files being processed are 
managed by OMERO, fully automated processing is happening on some 
network nodes and the results will be re-uploaded into OMERO. For being 
able to create meaningful links between numerical / human readable 
results and images, it is crucial to be able to attach them to an image 
imported into OMERO - which does require the ID...

The same holds for the OMERO-connector integrated into the latest HRM 
release [1]. For being able to upload parameter settings, coloc results, 
statistics etc. along a deconvolved dataset from the HRM, we'd need to 
know the ID of a newly created image.


Does 5.2.2 expose the ID via its Python API already?


Many thanks,
~Niko
