Bindings tend to depend on a strict matching of versions with the underlying library, so distributing them seperately doesn't really make sense to me. You need the underlying libraries, so why not get the matching bindings from the same place? We found that the situation was exacerbated by the fact that no-one cared about updating the bindings on pypi. Projects like numpy seem to get around this by distributing compiled shared libraries on pypi. That's fine if someone wants to do it, but it looks like "just another distro" to me, and not really an upstream problem. I guess we'd entertain minor tweaks to the build system to support that, but probably not a wholesale conversion. d _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org https://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
