[Hamlib-developer] Building Python bindings

[Phil <phi...@gm...>]

Thank you for reading this.

The recent discussion about using rigctl within Python code has 
rekindled my interest in this subject. I don't remember ever being able 
to build the Python bindings and so I had used rigctl instead, which is 
still working. I decided to try to build the bindings today but without 
success.

I do have hamlib-utils installed which gives me rigctl.

This is what I'd tried:

git clone https://github.com/Hamlib/Hamlib.git
cd Hamlib

./bootstrap
./configure --with-python-binding

This ends with "cannot find python".

I also tried "env PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3 ./configure 
--with-python-binding". This resulted in a configuration table that 
showed  "With Python binding yes" amongst other listings.

"make" followed by "sudo make install" didn't generate any errors, 
however, Python cannot find either the "Hamlib" or "hamlib" module.

I've spent hours searching the internet for an answer and my AI friend, 
although helpful, wasn't able suggest anything that solved the problem.
