[pygccxml-development] Future of pypp_api...

[Allen B. <al...@vr...>]

What are the future plans of the pypp_api?

I am in a very frustrating position because I am very happy with the 
capabilities and code generation abilities of pyplusplus, I have ported 
all my projects over to using it and am actively promoting it to 
others.  But I am not at all happy with the pyplusplus builder 
interface.  I have become frustrated enough with the pyplusplus builder 
API that I am starting to port my generation scripts over to using the 
pypp_api.  This API is definitely designed to be much more of a user API 
that just allows people to get work done.  I would highly suggest that 
anyone that wants to use pyplusplus to create bindings should be using 
this API.  It is simple and direct.  I am willing and interested in 
contributing more to it, but first I wanted to make sure it is going to 
continue to exist.

Matthias:  Do you think development will continue on this API or do you 
only need it for a single project?

Roman: Will you ever move over to using this API or recommending it as 
the user-level API that people should use?   If you don't, then I am not 
sure how much use this wonderful API will ever get.

The short of it is: Will this API continue to be supported and 
maintained as pyplusplus continues to evolve?  I have already run into 
cases where changes to pyplusplus have broken my generation scripts and 
that is when I was using the pyplusplus builder API.  Is this just going 
to get worse if I use pypp_api?
