Package: wminput
Version: 0.6.91-2+b1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: f...@debian.org
Hello Georges,
First of all, thank you so much for adopting cwiid and trying to port it
to Python 3.
I was trying get my Wiimote to work with RetroArch / RetroPie, and was
following guides such as https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Wiimote-Controller/
to get it working, but when it comes time to run wminput, I was greeted
with the following error:
$ wminput
ImportError:
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/cwiid.cpython-39-x86_64-linux-gnu.so:
undefined symbol: PyVarObject_CallFunction
After some investigation, I suspect PyObject_CallFunction is not
supposed to be renamed to PyVarObject_CallFunction even for porting
from Python 2 to Python 3.
Looking further, it seems that the port to Python 3 has already been
done by Thomas Vitureau (a.k.a. azzra):
Port of python-cwiid compatible with Python3
* https://pypi.org/project/cwiid/
* https://github.com/azzra/python3-wiimote
Azzra based his work on Cwiid author Donnie Smith's own repository
on GitHub at https://github.com/abstrakraft/cwiid , though probably for
simplicity sake or for building a pure Python 3 module, Azzra decided to
"Delete lswm, wmdemo, wminput, wmgui" from his python3-wiimote fork.
Incidentally, there is a fork of Cwiid by Ivica Ico Bukvic and friends
from Virgina Tech's L2Ork (Linux Laptop Orchestra):
* https://github.com/pd-l2ork/cwiid
though unfortunately it was forked before Donnie Smith converted his
repo from svn to git, and there is essentially no commit history found
in pd-l2ork/cwiid, and despite some contributed Python 3 related pull
request, it fails to build successfully with Python 3 out of the box.
So, what is the way forward?
As a working Python 3 port already exists, I propose updating the Debian
cwiid package with these existing works, though I admit that it would
require some work to cherry-pick from azzra's python3-wiimote repo and
to get wminput working with the Python-related code changes.
Here are my recommendation:
1. Start by upgrading Debian's cwiid with Donnie Smith's latest code.
I suggest modifying debian/watch to track his repo like so:
version=4
opts="mode=git, pgpmode=none, pretty=0.6.91+git%cd.%h" \
https://github.com/abstrakraft/cwiid.git \
HEAD debian
and run e.g. "gbp import-orig --sign-tags --uscan" to upgrade to
this latest upstream snapshot from 2010.
2. Then, choose one of the following:
a) Cherry-pick and modify the new commits from
https://github.com/azzra/python3-wiimote/commits/master
and place them in debian/patches/, or
b) Fork https://github.com/abstrakraft/cwiid as
https://github.com/Debian/cwiid (for example)
to merge azzra/python3-wiimote while keeping lswm, wminput, etc.
c) Build Debian's cwiid (from abstrakraft/cwiid) without Python 3
support, and package azzra/python3-wiimote as a separate source
package producing the python3-cwiid binary package.
What do you think? :-)
If you like, I would be very happy to collaborate too if time allows.
Cheers,
Anthony
