In any sort off production environment I want a way to access the actual bus and check which data is actually out there before I restart my Python script under a debugger. Thus I require owserver, thus any of the direct bindings is a no-go. Also, owserver is long-running; connecting to it is nearly instantaneous and does not require privileges. Starting a script that loads owlib in order to access the bus directly, not so much. Also², async usage of owlib requires multithreading AFAIK, or at least specialized code. With owserver I can write a reasonably-simple protocol handler, throw the request packet to owserver, and process the answer whenever I feel like doing so. NB: Python3 support has landed in SWIG 1.3.37, sometime in 2008 … obviously those were the days before Semantic Versioning got any kind of traction, but that's a different problem. :-P -- -- Matthias Urlichs -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot ___ Owfs-developers mailing list Owfs-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/owfs-developers

Those bindings are not python3 compatible even. In Fedora, I suggested people should use pyownet. -- Tomasz TorczThere exists no separation between gods and men: xmpp: zdzich...@chrome.pl one blends softly casual into the other. -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot ___ Owfs-developers mailing list Owfs-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/owfs-developers

Works with Tcl-8.5 (my production environment), have to test with Tcl-8.6. If anyone has problems compiling it, it's mostly because tclConfig.sh isn't found automatically, which can easily be fixed by using the ./configure --with-tcl=...

I do exclusively. I was using my own wrapper reading directories but now use pyownet.

Re: [Owfs-developers] python-ow failure with new Raspbian Stretch
Hello! I'd go a bigger step further and make them optional by way of how the configure script is managed. I manage three platforms here. My desktop a 32 bit machine running Slackware 11.0 Linux, and this laptop, that also runs Slackware 14.2 in 64 bit mode. And of course any number of Raspberry Pi platforms. We'd a poll of some kind asking how many people use Python in the OWFS community, and even TCL and then PHP. Once we've got those numbers, we'd have some idea of what to do next. Of course the merely obvious question is why the swig bindings are not under active development. The incredibly obvious question then is who was performing that task. - Gregg C Levine gregg.drw...@gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."
