‹crodgers›  michael, cradek, now that jepler is back can we find a solution for pyXB in sds2?
[11:44:17]
‹cradek›  jepler: please read back if you haven't already
[11:44:40]
‹jepler›  hello
[11:44:44]
‹michael›  He should have some basis. We talked about this before his vacation.
[11:44:58]
‹jepler›  can someone tell me about when to read back to?
[11:44:58]
‹parrot›  so create a directory
[11:45:12]
‹michael›  jepler: We're back on 3rd party python modules and how they should be integrated with SDS/2 for use both on Windows and Linux.
[11:45:24]
‹michael›  Is there a better approach than gen_freeze to consider?
[11:45:33]
‹jepler›  michael: this project doesn't have a Windows installer?
[11:45:50]
‹cradek›  jepler: yesterday 13:06:40
[11:45:53]
‹jepler›  ta
[11:45:57]
‹michael›  Providing an installer is okay for windows users but doesn't help with our Linux user or devs.
[11:47:04]
‹cradek›  (but it sounds like you understand the problem and reading our flailing yesterday isn't going to help much)
[11:47:12]
‹jepler›  I agree that linux needs to be caressed differently than windows.
[11:47:32]
‹jepler›  is "use the pyxb installer on windows" still a working idea as far as everybody else is concerned?
[11:47:39]
‹michael›  AFAIC
[11:47:41]
‹jepler›  OK
[11:48:09]
‹jepler›  is pyxb composed solely of .py files or does it contain extensions written in C/++?
[11:48:10]
‹michael›  I'm generally opposed to "stick it in gen_freeze" because of scalability and licensing.
[11:48:57]
‹michael›  I think it's all python, based on a cursory look.
[11:49:38]
‹jepler›  OK
[11:50:00]
‹jepler›  well the short answer is: for linux users / deveopers we debian-ify pyxb
[11:50:29]
‹jepler›  the longer answer is: and we also decide whether this is a good time to say we have to do http://bugzilla.dsndata.com/show_bug.cgi?id=33108
[11:52:34]
‹jepler›  and a footnote reads: if you think I'm the one who has to do this, file a bug and make it block a release-blocking bug so that it shows up on my radar
[11:52:41]
‹michael›  .deb it is
[11:52:58]
‹jepler›  michael: shipping in gen_freeze vs shipping loose on the filesystem doesn't make a big difference for most licenses.
[11:53:43]
‹jepler›  we still couldn't ship GPL python code that SDS/2 depends on for full functionality and say "oh but it's not inside our software"
[11:54:49]
‹jepler›  from pyxb.utils.six.moves.urllib import request as urllib_request
[11:54:49]
‹jepler›  wat
