At long last I have created packages for Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron). In the process the packages are updated to ITK 3.6.0. When you thought things couldn't get an better, doxygen documentation is available in each class's python docstring.

Updated Packages for Hardy

Instructions on how to install the packages are in a previous how-to. The new ITK 3.6.0 packages are only for Hardy Heron and not Gutsy.

Python Docstring Nirvana

In the WrapITK Manual, the developers describe an advanced feature available in WrapITK :

"As an extra bonus, it is possible to view the doxygen documentation for each class as the python docstring...Several steps are necessary to obtain this nirvana..."

Well, this is too enticing. I had to enable this feature and package it up for everyone. Doxygen documentation is now available for ITK classes in the insighttoolkit-doc package (Hardy Only). To install the package, add my repository, and at the command prompt enter
sudo apt-get install insighttoolkit-doc

Now, startup ipython
ipython

And enjoy the nirvana
