Hi, trying to ensure some changes do not break the Python binding generation, I actually tried to activate that, but found at least on current openSUSE TW there seem to be no longer any working dependencies. Also the openSUSE TW packages of the KF modules seem to also be build without bindings, for the samples I checked.
Then I found that on both gitlab & jenkins CI the binding generation is also skipt (at least for KCoreAddons on all platforms, but seems also everywhere else). Some related commit removing the support talks about "deterministic" builds though: https://invent.kde.org/sysadmin/ci-tooling/-/commit/ 6a92fdf747990d2e074e92b2bdc224efc9b08740 Then on #kde-devel I was told that"pyqt5 5.15.6 + sip4" do no more go together, referencing https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/pipermail/pyqt/2021-November/044346.html: > It wasn't an intentional breakage but it's not something I'm going to rush to fix. Who feels in charge of the Python binding support? Is there a chance someone will work on this soonish? Or could we drop it now, and save everyone the cmake warning messages they cannot fix and also the bad feeling to change things that might break binding generation support even further? It was suggested that "the only reasonable way forward it to port to modern sip" "but that requires an almost full rewrite". Which sounds as if any future system will need a rework of ECM's PythonModuleGeneration as well, thus keeping the current CMake code in KF modules around in chance they might get used again as they are in the future would not make sense. Reference removal of the Python binding generation support up as https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kcoreaddons/-/merge_requests/198 to serve as example for the discussion. Cheers Friedrich
