Hi David,
Thanks for the excellent review of the situation.
2) Python bindings for libparted. An external project currently, the
pyparted project provides a 1-to-1 mapping to libparted interfaces from
C to Python. This allows Python developers access to libparted
functions, but not in the most elegant manner. A rewrite of pyparted to
offer an object oriented API as well as the traditional 1-to-1 interface
is planned, with eventual inclusion in to the GNU parted project code base.
Is there any progress on this? I probably missed out on this part;
because I happen to have some experience with python bindings. I can
probably help you out here :)
Excellent. Yeah, see, I knew that communication was probably an issue.
I know you said you were interested in infrastructure too. I want
everyone to know that we can all wear multiple hats. The infrastructure
lead is not banned from working on the code. :)
pyparted was created at Red Hat prior to my starting. I now own the
project and have kept it going in its current form. I want to rewrite
it to have a real OO API, but also keep the 1-to-1 mapping. I think the
best thing to do now is merge what code there is in to the master branch
so we can both work on it. We can discuss design from there.
There's another small feature that we've wanted for a long time: real
partition ID support. I actually took this up a long time ago; but never
really got anywhere :(
Partition ID support?
The rest of it looks great. It is important that we sit down and fully
finalize things before working on 2.0. How about meeting up on IRC
sometime? #parted on Freenode you know :)
That works for me. Can we schedule it for next week? I'm busy for the
rest of today and I have to go out of town this weekend.
