Request for a Python Variant of JS bids-validator about bids-validator HOT 4 OPEN

Note that I've started scoping out a design in this doc:

https://demo.hedgedoc.org/s/yvkCVA3kh#

from bids-validator.

Just to make sure it is mentioned.

There is already a python library that can help do a "superficial" validation of bids filenames:

https://github.com/bids-standard/bids-validator/tree/master/bids-validator#python-library

https://pypi.org/project/bids-validator/

Also if Node installation is source of trouble but docker is not, consider using the docker image of the validator:

https://hub.docker.com/r/bids/validator

from bids-validator.

We also have the start of a validator in the BIDS specification repository: https://github.com/bids-standard/bids-specification/blob/master/tools/schemacode/bidsschematools/validator.py

This is installed with the Python package bidsschematools. Right now, it's just a Python interface, and it only does filename validation. It's been written toward the DANDI archive's use for BIDS validation, so the API may need refinement to fit other use cases.

Thank you, @effigies. Looking forward to this tool. Please let me know if you need help with testing, brainstorming, etc.
