generate_python_bindings.sh dependencies

[danielk333]

The script in OPI/tools/generate_python_bindings.sh depends on h2xml and xml2py, however looking into these packages they seem to be semi-abandoned (on ubuntu launchpad the latest release was 2015 and hence they dont show up in e.g. AUR on arch), trying to find the source code the only refence avalible is this repository which seems to have switched use-case as it does not supply h2xml and xml2py as entry-points anymore but rather clang2py.

Any ideas? Or did i just miss what the actual package is? xD

Ah i found the svn repository for ctypeslib (the repository i linked before is ctypeslib2) and it lives here on PyPI https://pypi.org/project/ctypeslib/ unfortunately not installable it seems though

[danielk333]

Cloning the svn code revealed that its only python 2 compatible so this is probably a no-go as a dependency

Hi Daniel, yes you are right that code has not been touched in a while. Maybe you could ask your question on the OPI side of things. Then my colleague @mmoeckel could respond. Please also note that we are currently stuck on OPI-2015 and OPI has been further developed.

#1 should resove this issue right?

[ckebschull]

That is correct. I hope to soon be able to look at it, but this is more complex as NEPTUNE is used in other projects, which still run on OPI-2015.

[danielk333]

Ah i see. But that should not be a big problem since its under version control and those projects can just check out a particular release/hash/tag using OPI-2015? Or have a separate branch that can also receive bugfixes
