    Hello,

    the actual version of the Rendezvous Python module support the 5.3 API.
    I guess this means that I can't use this module for a 6.X installation (?).
    Are there any plans to support the 'new' API ?

    Cheers
    Joachim

      Yes, there are plans for doing this.
      In two steps, actually.
      Firstly, i'm going to make a 5.3 - compatible Python wrapper (exposing the rv 5 API to Python), based on the rv 6 C API (the rv 6 C++ API looks quite broken to me).
      That module will have several extensions on the existing module (user - defined data types for example), but retain compatibility with the actual module.
      Having that done, i'll see whether i'm going to make a 'real' rv 6 port.
      As i said, in the new C++ API there are quite many things i don't like so much.

        Cool!
        Inevitable question:
        Any idea regarding the timeframe ?
        Cheers

          Towards the end of this year (october/november). TIBCO said they are going the 5.3 software (meaning the rendezvous daemons) until end of this year. The API will be supported until end of next year, however for me, this means that i am going to move our interface software to the rv6 API. I see the easiest way of doing so in providing the exactly same API (rv5 - like) on top of the rv6 C/C++ libraries.

      BTW, you can actually use rvpython with a rv 6 installation, since the versions are protocol - compatible (see the tibco web site on that topic). It provides you with an rv5 - like API, however.
