I have set up a branch replacing the current Python version-specific ntp.ntpc with a language-agnostic foreign function interface stub point and a version agnostic Python ntp.ntpc using cytpes.
On build, it produces a single shared library 'libntp.so' in the ntpd sub^n-directory and a now neat Python module in the adjacent pylib directory. The intention is to speed up the compilation of multiple version of the Python module. The current implementation requires recompilation of the entire tree. I think soon that a reasonable meta-build system could build the tree once, install and then link in new Python versions as desired. Also, it would allow for the authoring of third party non- Python clients. At this point, I am looking for constructive criticism. I am posting this here because I feel this would be impactful and non-trivial. I must admit I am unaware of the impactfulness of my submissions. tdr; merge request -> https://gitlab.com/NTPsec/ntpsec/merge_requests/1010 branch -> https://gitlab.com/jamesb_fe80/ntpsec/tree/ctype
