[request] port Tox core source to Python 2.7 #19

Closed Tcll closed 9 years ago

Tcll commented 10 years ago

Just as the title states ;) though a python3 port would be nice as well (if there should happen to be differences between the builds)

I personally need a 2.7 build as I'd like to eventually integrate the architecture in with my program :) (I specifically run 2.7 as PyOpenGL runs faster)

aviau commented 9 years ago

I don't understand. Pytox works well with both python2.7 and python3.3.

What is the issue?

Tcll commented 9 years ago

the issue is some people (myself included) can't build it. (I can't get mingw to install correctly on XP64) ^ I refuse to support Win7 or Win8, or more specifically MS's kernel-RAT

the code is being ported to ctypes, which is a work-around. (I personally would like a full python port)

I just hope the installation actually wraps the pyd or dll (like PyOpenGL), or otherwize it won't register as a module (like pyglew or pywin32).

Porting the entire toxcore to Python is virtually impossible consider the time I have. I'm only going with the ctypes version if I got time.

Tcll commented 9 years ago

you've explained before, and after I created this :P

so I'm accepting the work-around :) I just hope to have it working with my program (I want to embed a dev-chat in my program)

my program has it's own windows interpreter that also works on linux (wine)
