Hello everyone, I develop a set of extensions for Python. In my opinion, the extensions are easy to develop, great and powerful tool, widening the usability of Inkscape that help spread the Inkscape among users.
Because of the need for GUI and websocket client, I've updated the version of Python in the Inkscape to 2.7 and added PyQt4 and ws4py libraries. All features has been tested on Windows. Now I would like to ask, whether there is a possibility to make this version a standard version included in the instalation of Inkscape? Eventually what steps are required to switch the Python version in the standard distribution of Inkscape?
Python is only distributed with Inkscape on Windows, so to replace the Python version used by Inkscape, one would need to update the devlibs: https://launchpad.net/inkscape-devlibs
Updating Python to 2.7 is a good idea. PyQt will not be included in the standard distribution, since a dependency on Qt in not acceptable. Including ws4py is acceptable, but I think it might be a security risk.
