Most importantly, I can't really decide if this is worth pursuing. I feel like the approach has some potential but I can't be sure. The code can be manually written after all. The spec format is more generic, so it might be easier to refactor the parsers in the future but I don't know how likely that is to happen. And also, would we gain from transitioning to piculet based parsers? Possible advantages could be: - Making py2 support easier if we want that. - Dropping the hard dependency on lxml, again, if we want that. - Easier maintenance of the parsers (?). - More involvement from developers for writing parsers (?). So my main problem is that I'm undecided whether I should devote more time to this or not. Any insight into that issue would be much appreciated. -- Turgut ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Imdbpy-devel mailing list Imdbpy-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/imdbpy-devel
