almirah==0.2.0 not working about almirah

[hrani]

Then my suggestion would be do not include these library! I need to import almirah without any issue and later if some one pass EEG (example) then check for dependency and let user know that this module is required for running and ways to install either pip or apt or poetry etc

This is intended behavior as this is outside the scope of almirah. Since almirah is meant to be for general dataset maintainance and organization, dependencies for reading specific file types are not part of almirah. In this specific case, mne for reading eeg, meg, eyetracking, and nirs file types.

Though the almirah user guide provides recommendations for certain file types, they are not part of almirah deps and hence not installed on pip install. Maybe explicitly mentioning that these are recommendations and not dependencies might make it clear. The only purpose of providing them in the documentation is to show how almirah can interface with other tools.

With all this said, if you are directly cloning from the repo and using poetry install, then it is possible to install dependencies like these by specifying groups like poetry install -with eeg. For more groups, please have a look at pyproject.toml. Else, one can always do pip install mne separately.

A pip solution that handles this during almirah install does not exist at this point. Maybe PEP 735 will change this.
