-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, a short update what I did during the last few weeks. * I started with moving the package structure to a more hierarchical one. With a gimp package on top and several subpackages like gimp.colors, gimp.enums, gimp.ui. * I also changed gimp.enums to use GEnum objects instead integers for the enums. * Gradient, Brush, Palette and Pattern objects have been mapped in pure python. Although I'm not that happy with gimp.Gradient and gimp.Palette: The problem is that in python you can not copy a object implicitly by value. Assigning a object to a name copies the reference and increases the refcount. Image the following code: palette.entries[0] = palette.entries[1] palette.entries[0].color = gimp.colors.RGB(0, 0, 0) From a python point of view it should change the color of entry 0 and 1. But in gimp palette entries can only accessed by their index. So I ended up writing some code that tracks which GradientEntry is assigned to what indices. The problem starts when a script uses gimp.pdb.gimp_palette_delete_entry in parallel. A Gradient object can not be notified when a entry is deleted so the indices get all wrong. Something similar is true for the gradient wrapper. * I added a gimp.context module that wraps all the gimp_context_* functions. * Added wrapper code for most of the missing gimp widgets. So gimp.ui is almost complete now except for a problem with Preview objects. Also some methods need a more pythonic interface. * Added a unittest that test if the wrapped widget methods at least do not crash and accept the right parameters. * Additionally I found and fixed some bugs in pygimp. What comes next: * Do something about the problems with gimp.Gradient and gimp.Palette described above. * I have been looking into wrapping libgimpmath. But I'm not sure how to handle it. The matrix and vectors code looks incomplete and inconsistent. Some objects are GObjects others are not. * The pygobject system complains when a object is not constructable with properties. So I'll look into porting the widgets that don't support it, but I will need some advice how to it the right way. * In my opinion the error messages in pygimp-pdb are a bit unspecific. So I'll try to rewrite parts in pygimp-pdb.c to give better error messages.
