[Ns-developers] Status of Python bindings

[Gustavo Carneiro]

The PyBindGen API changes are more or less complete:

https://code.launchpad.net/~gjc/pybindgen/trunk

If nothing else comes up API-wise, next steps are:

 1. Generate NS-3 API definitions as a single Python file and make it work;

 2. Split the above file into several files, and support local modification
files;

 3. Figure out issues related to splitting python bindings into a separate
repository;

 4. Document the process, adding examples;

 5. Bring the code up to date to ns-3-dev (assuming it is API stable by
then).
