I cross posted this since it has to do with BisonGen which rdflib is using for generating a fully-compliant SPARQL parser.

Hello Stephen, I've been trying to follow-up one of two options with this. The main problem is that BisonGen (the parser generator used) can only generate Python/C extensions in it's current rendition. There are some encoding issues with the Python generator. This is one option. The other is to build binaries for linux, unix, windows, etc.. I have access to environments to build for every scenario 'except' windows (particulalry because I've never done it before and the prospect of VC++ or any alternative is daunting for the distutil novice that I am). So, anybody who has such an environment could help build binaries for Windows I'm told it's a pretty fool-proof process once you have the proper build environment. It's a tough call, because what you lose in no longer having a pure python library you gain in having a self-sufficient parser and fully complilant (w/out any third-party dependency) > As a quick work-around, I've hacked a version of > rdflib with all references to the sparql package removed, > and it installs and everything I use in my app works > fine. > But I'm still very interested in a windows-compiled > rdflib package, as I'd like to use sparql in the future. _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] http://rdflib.net/mailman/listinfo/dev
