[Lcms-user] new version of Python bindings to LCMS

[Guy K. K. <g....@ma...>]

Hi everybody,

I've just finished the next (0.4) version of my ctypes based bindings to LCMS. 
For the user the biggest improvements are improved profile handling, many 
colour conversion helpers that just work without the need to know how LCMS is 
handling it under the hood, and some magic to ease creating LUT based ICC 
profiles. LUTs can be accessed and created either directly using a NumPy array 
interface or using callback functions. Although the callback function approach 
does not use the LCMS callbacks, but a re-implementation in Python that will 
largely ease the pain of facilitating a "cargo" structure in Python from the 
underlying C library.

I've placed the code here:

If anybody, or more people are interested in it, I can create a sourceforge or 
Google code project for cooperation and/or ease of access to the development 
code base.

Let me know what you think,

Guy



Changes in version 0.4:
    * unit test harnessing migrated to nosetest
    * split up into littlecms module into a package with several sub-modules
    * added exception handling for missing files on profile loading
    * added utility class for easy CIE colour value handling/conversion
    * changed default behaviour to use the builtin Lab v4 profile
      (instead of v2)
    * adding: profile creation
    * removal of some unnecessary wildcard imports
    * implementation of CieColour class (conversion/handling of XYZ, Lab and
      xyY colours)
    * implementation of LUT class
    * implementation of Tag and LutTag classes
    * implementation of custom profile creation and saving
