A quote from Cython documentation:
"The other direction, i.e. automatic encoding to C strings, is only supported
for the ASCII codec (and the “default encoding”, which is runtime specific
and may or may not be ASCII). This is because CPython handles the memory
management in this case by keeping an encoded copy of the string alive
together with the original unicode string. Otherwise, there would be no way
to limit the lifetime of the encoded string in any sensible way, thus
rendering any attempt to extract a C string pointer from it a dangerous
endeavour."
Cython plays it safe and we can't live with ASCII-only; reverting to
our earlier "hacks" for string conversion.
This reverts commit b547ff2aa2.

Elm was lgpl3, COPYING was lgpl3, docs say lgpl3. So fix everything to be v3.
Also fix the COPING for Lesser: we must include gpl (in COPYING) AND lgpl (in COPYING.LESSER).
With "except *" a call is made to PyErr_Occurred on each call of a
function.
Adding a return value where possible and using an appropriate exception
value calls PyErr_Occurred only when that value is returned, ie.
an exception has been raised.
cdef void example_func() except *: <- PyErr_Occurred called on each call
cdef int example_func() except 0: <- PyErr_Occurred called only when
an exception has been raised (the function thus returns 0)
This is meant to be the 1.8 version of the wrappers and will include everything
that now is in the python folder.
Atm this include evas, ecore, edje, elementary and emotion (emotion still commented
in the build couse it need some more testing). Eo is used as a base for all the
objects that inherit from it in C, but in real nothing is used from Eo, it is
used more like a container to share code between the libs.
All the docs has been stripped out because we want to use the new sphinx style
docs that Kay has done in his git repo. (Kay: please wait a little bit to include
it, as working on the libs without docs is much more easy)
The new wrappers include a new container module called efl and thus you can live
with both the old and the new installation. This also means that you need to import
the new modules as:
"from efl import evas" (instead of the old "import evas")
The idea here is that you can make your code works with both version doing
something like:
try:
import evas
except:
from efl import evas
...like is done in the gtk bindings
Some stuff has been leaved out on purpose, because was old stuff (like the hacked
evas rotation stuff) or because was not working as expected (like all the ecore.evas.XXX
modules). See the TODO.txt file for more info. Probably some stuff is out just because I
missed them, let me know if you miss something.
Improvements from the old version:
- Py3 compatible (still some work to be done, but really only TODO, no problems to resolv)
- Should also works on other platforms, like windoz (but not tested)
- Unittests greatly improved, you can also run ALL tests at once
- much more simpler :)
I will contine the works in the next weeks and hope someone will help too.
NOTE: I switched back to setup.py instead of autotools, because that is the right way to
compile python stuff. So to build just use:
python setup.py install
or
python3 setup.py install
