I spent some time recently digging into more efficient data transfer between OIIO and Python, and could use some feedback.
Regarding NumPy... I would appreciate hearing which of the following sounds right to you: 1. Anybody who needs to use OIIO from Python almost certainly already uses NumPy as well, and even if they don't, it's no big deal to require it. 2. There are pros and cons to NumPy, it shouldn't be a hard requirement, but it would be great if OIIO auto-detected it and supported it more directly if present. 3. NumPy support is a distraction, ignore it. Even if I use NumPy, I prefer to do the numpy-to-array conversions myself on the Python side of things. 4. Something else (please explain). I'm a hardcore C++ programmer, but only occasionally work in Python, so I really have no independent opinions on this nor much understanding of how essential everybody considers NumPy to be. -- Larry Gritz [email protected] _______________________________________________ Oiio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openimageio.org/listinfo.cgi/oiio-dev-openimageio.org
