1 month ago I might be able to find someone to help with the packaging/testing if needed.
If you have the resources to apply to this, I'd be willing to review a PR. My apologies but I do not anticipate having the resources here to persue this any time soon.
Hello, It would be very helpful to me and my students if someone had time to package the python silo module and upload to e.g. https://pypi.org/ so that it can be installed to a python virtual environment easily via 'pip'. Debian 12 uses virtual environments for installing non-system packages, and it seems I can't access the system python3-silo package from within a virtual env. I'm not sure how to access the silo package except by downloading the source, compiling+installing and then adding a custom path to my python code. This makes it difficult for others to use our python file-reader package pypion: https://pypi.org/project/pypion/ because the dependencies of the package require the user to download and compile the silo python module and install to a specific path. It also means we can't add our file-reader to e.g. yt (https://yt-project.org/) because the dependencies can't be automatically satisfied. I might be able to find someone to help with the packaging/testing if needed. All the best, Jonathan
