no Python 2.0 bindings for Lightflow until now
I wrote to Jacopo Pantaleoni (jp@lightflowtech.com), the creator of the Lightflow rendering engine (http://www.lightflowtech.com/), if he would recompile the Python bindings for Python 2.0.
I will do the same.
Well, I was thinking of adding some class(es) to my KineticsKit VPython toy
I am in the process of doing the same with Lightflow for my PyGeo toy. Good fun, but it *is* frustrating to be stuck on 1.5.2. I'm kind of assuming that Jacopo will get around to getting Lightflow Python bindings up-to- date, but who knows. Looked at the Povray site recently. There was an indication that a major rewrite of its scripting will be undertaken, which will not be backwards compatible. The developers specifically announced that they are not ready to accept public comment, suggestions about it at this time. But I have a great idea for them, when they're ready.... ART

Is Lightflow available as a shared library? In that case it will issue a warning about incompatible API versions when you use it from Python 2.0, but in actuality it's likely that it doesn't use any of the changed APIs, so it'll actually work just fine. Of course, this is for Unix or Linux; for Windows, the Python DLL name is (unfortunately?) compiled into extensions... --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
