Thanks for the effort of bringing pynifti (and pymvpa) avaliable.
For me (on Ubuntu 9,04, or Mac Leopard)

 $ sage -i pynifti-p0

unfortunately did not work directly. However,
downloading the sources  'pynifti_0.20090303.1.tar.gz' and
'pymvpa_0.4.2.tar.gz', then

$ sage -sh    and  $ make all   and   $ python setup.py install

in the unpacked directories of pynifti_...  and pymvpa_...  ,
respectively,
works OK, i.e.

sage: import nifti
sage: import mvpa

On the Mac (Leopard)  I have problems with the nifticlib 1.1 library
(i.e. $SAGE_HOME/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/
nifti/_clib.so, 2): Symbol not found: _Xznzclose )
that must be installed before the punifti or pymvpa packages.
