Receive DICOM data from python
==============================
Create a storage SCP which can accept DICOM data from remote SCUs. On
reception of the data, a user-defined callback function is called.

:download:`get source (storescp.py) <../source/netdicom/examples/storescp.py>`

.. literalinclude:: ../source/netdicom/examples/storescp.py
