As of last week, David James and I think that the Ctypes Python
Binding Branch is ready for merging, or at least a thorough review in
preparation for merging. The branch is available at
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/branches/ctypes-python-bindings/.
To summarize what the branch is (and what it does):
The Ctypes Python bindings use the python ctypes module to wrap the
subversion API. This binding is cleaner and more python-ish then the
existing SWIG binding. The binding provides a python interface for all
of the subversion API, as well as providing classes to wrap much of
the most used functionality. Included in the branch is a brand new
test suite, which tests the new classes, including utility classes.
The present idea for merging is to include the ctypes bindings as an
alternative to the SWIG bindings, hopefully with the goal of the
ctypes bindings being the primary supported binding, deprecating the
SWIG bindings. I believe the ctypes bindings are better, but keeping
the SWIG bindings maintains compatibility with existing SWIG-based
code.
Anyway, at this point David and I would like to ask for input and
opinions. Any comments, suggestions, or "merge +1"s welcome.
Thanks,
Sage LaTorra
