3758	Update gdcm dicom library for Python 3.8	Tom Goddard	Zach Pearson	"Currently gdcm (grassroots dicom library) is not being installed in the ChimeraX daily builds since I updated to Python 3.8 a few days ago.  Unfortunately gdcm does not have any packaged Python 3 releases so it is pretty painful to create versions for ChimeraX.  And it turns out that it was not working in ChimeraX 1.0 and 1.1 because of a missing openjpeg library, but did work in ChimeraX 0.92 at least on my machine.  This library allows opening lossless 16-bit jpeg DICOM files often used for clinical imaging and not handled by PIL or PyDicom.

The gdcm 3.0.8 releases at github use Python 3.8 and are a starting point for making a ChimeraX prereq installation."	defect	closed	moderate		DICOM		fixed						all	ChimeraX
