I'd appreciate it if you could investigate a bit further. The code I
was referring to is at

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~stefanv/supreme/main/annotate/head%3A/supreme/misc/io.py

As you can see, it is very simplistic. It also returns a bunch of
Image objects, that we don't need. But the basic idea is there: a
container over which you can iterate, that loads images on demand and
keeps a cache as necessary. I've never played with loading of
multi-layer images, so I hope you can get something going.

Sure, I'll give it a go. I cloned your scikits.image repo on github, will add a new branch and push to my cloned repo once it works. That is best way to do it right?

Another git question, for scipy I followed this guide: http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/wiki/GitMirror. Now I have it here: http://github.com/rgommers/scipy. Would it not be better to clone another scipy repo already on github, like David's or Pauli's? Or does it not matter?

Cheers,
Ralf
