Cannot find python bindings for pango and pangocairo #16

Open MarkCallow opened 9 years ago

MarkCallow commented 9 years ago

setup.py is looking for these. I can't find them on the net. The only hits suggest that they are included in pygtk but that hasn't been touched in 4 years - it recommends using PyGObject instead - and only seems to be installable on Windows. There is no indication that PyGObject includes these bindings.

I am trying to install shaape on OS X Yosemite.

Where can I find and how can I install these dependencies?

You can try some untested hacks patches of my branch: 251/shaape@bc8e07fb4235a7cc6401ab4f8159466ec29cdf67

I can confirm that I have the same problem and that the patch from above solves it for me. Using pygobject is recommended with gtk3 now, while some while ago I was using pygtk with gtk2. If you can confirm that it solves the issue for you, I will pull in the change.

I have only just been able to make time to try this. Unfortunately it does not work. I still get the error that some bindings, specifically the pango binding, could not be found.

What is the gi.repository? Is there something I need to do to make my python installation aware of it?

Ultimately what I want to do is generate SVG from the Ascii art input. In order to do that are all these cairo and pango dependencies really necessary? That is, is it possible to make a version of Shaape that can ony output SVG and does not have these dependencies? As far as I can see no drawing needs to be done to generate SVG; Shaape would merely be transforming its input language into another language, SVG.

That's from pygobject.

Yes.

input language into another language
