Yes, I saw your new ctypes version for CE. Very excited.
Unfortunately we are stuck in .NET land for a few near-term
releases. I just can't wait to switch over to using python on this
platform. Ctypes will certainly help us get there!
As for common modules, I certainly agree that they need a common
place to live. I would expect them to be somewhere like the PythonCE
project on SourceForge or some other central area. I don't really
like the idea of multi-purposing the ctypes repository with CE stuff
for much the same reasons as I did not care for the comtypes being in
there. The RAPI interfaces are just one of the things I'd like to
see in this common repository, and I know everyone else has expressed
similar sentiments. We will really need a good .NET bridge for the
compact framework eventually. Hopefully we will be able to build
that atop ctypes -- but I'm starting to think we are going to need to
use a combination of OpenNETCF.org 2.0 Framework as well as the .NET
2.0 CF to get things to approach what Zope has implemented for the
desktop. Anyhow I've started to ramble. ;)
I really prefer SVN over CVS. ;) But I'm not too picky. We are
more than happy to host on TechGame -- our current structure is SVN
and Trac, and you can see an example at http://techgame.net/projects/
framework. But if we end up hosting under ctypes or pythonce, I'll
be just as happy. A place to start working in is the important part.
Thanks,
