Hi there; Emailing developer lists is terrifying to me. But, I have a question about managing OIIO on my MacBook (M1):
At the moment, I install OIIO via Homebrew. I’m not married to this method, it’s just a thing that worked for me, and a method I saw mentioned on the Github docs. Homebrew installs a particular version of oiio, which comes with its own particular version of Python bindings. I haven’t quite figured out whether I can download python bindings specifically for a particular python version. I’m somewhat code-y, and I move amongst python versions frequently. I use pyenv to manage my various python environments on my Mac, which seems to work fairly well (definitely easier than using Homebrew to manage python versions). It’s often the case that I ‘upgrade’ my Homebrew setup, which refreshes oiio, which gets me a new python bindings, often built against a particular version of python which I may or may not already have installed. The most recent oiio home-brew update, for example, offers python bindings for 3.11. I haven’t yet needed to move anything else to 3.11, I’m still on 3.10. Is there a way for me to ‘get’ oiio python bindings for 3.10? Or do I have to upgrade Python to keep it in sync with whatever the Homebrew version of oiio decides to give me? I find the need to ‘chase’ the Homebrew python bindings a little difficult, as it of course means I need to re-set up all my python modules and so on. The whole experience makes me think there might be a more graceful way for me to manage this, and I went looking on Github to see if anyone else might have already asked this question. I couldn’t find anything suggesting as much, but did find this email list, so thought I’d ask here. I would ideally like my oiio bindings to ‘follow’ my python version, rather than the other way around. Or, I might imagine Homebrew would install bindings for multiple minor versions of Python (e.g. 3.9, 3.10, 3.11) rather than just a single version, to allow for some amount of flexibility in dev environments…though I realize this is a Brew thought, not an OIIO thought... Anyway, I’m hoping someone could offer some wisdom about managing this better. Please be gentle, I know a medium amount about managing development environments on Apple silicon, but have much to learn. Many thanks; —allen _______________________________________________ Oiio-dev mailing list Oiio-dev@lists.openimageio.org http://lists.openimageio.org/listinfo.cgi/oiio-dev-openimageio.org
