Many devs won't even evaluate the code for technical merits with an unestablished, unclear, and unfamiliar license like that. The "donate anything" concept is a cute idea, but put the idea in either an informal request if you BSD license the code, or as a condition for a commercial license if you GPL the code. -- Dotan Cohen http://gibberish.co.il http://what-is-what.com -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Furthermore, a proper source-code license protects your ability to make money on commercial use of your code in the future, depending on what license you choose. And you can license your code under multiple licenses if you choose. And as long as you own the copyright exclusively, you can change or add licenses at any time. Looks like you have contributions from one other person, so you'll need to get his permission to relicense, or else remove his commit. Most developers seem to think of source code licensing as an afterthought (some don't list any license at all on github, so technically everyone who clones their repo is violating copyright). It need not be complicated or hard, but deserves a bit of thought. And, as I said, if you own the exclusive copyright you can change up the license at will. But start somewhere. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Hello Python people, I've made a C++ wrapper for Python. I've called it PiCxx and put it up here: https://github.com/p-i-/PiCxx <https://github.com/p-i-/PiCxx> That project runs out of the box on OS X and should be pretty easy to adapt for other OS. Any help providing demo projects for other platforms is most welcome (especially iOS/Android)! Currently I've only provided support for Python 3.x, is that is all I need in my own work. 2.x would not be too much extra trouble. PiCxx presents a viable alternative to Boost::Python and PyCXX -- I didn't want to use either of those two because I didn't want to introduce a Boost dependency and I found the internals of PyCXX impenetrable, so I set about doing a (C++11) rewrite. I've ditched the idea of splitting off a different C++ class for each PyFoo_Type. Instead I have an Object class to mirror PyObject. Feel free to contact me by email or (even better) webchat.freenode.net <http://webchat.freenode.net/> #pi Happy spring '15, π (pi) 25 March 2015 PS Note I haven't subscribed to this mailing list, so I may not catch replies!-- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
