intern (Integrated Toolkit for Extensible and Reproducible Neuroscience) is a Python 2/3 module that enables big-data neuroscience. Currently, it provides an interface to the Boss API, and in the future may provide interfaces to other neuroscience databases.
intern is inspired by the NeuroData ndio package:

It's always a good idea to use virtualenv to isolate your work from your system Python installation
- Using virtualenv:
virtualenv intern . intern/bin/activate- Using virtualenvwrapper:
mkvirtualenv intern -
(Preferred) Install via pypi
pip install intern -
Install via git
Clone the repository from https://github.com/jhuapl-boss/intern and run
pip install -r requirements.txtfrom the repository's location on your system.Add
<repository location>to yourPYTHONPATH.For example, on a *nix system, if intern was cloned to ~/intern:
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:~/intern
