I hate to be stop energy on porting the python extensions to Python 3, that clearly needs to happen. But I don't think we're ready to have them shipping and developed out of a different repository. The distribution issues are critical there. I think that we need a test extension that works well in all the repos/stores/etc before we can split out the extensions that we have.
I understand reservations, but I don't agree with your conclusions Ted. I'm suggesting standardization on existing technologies that we're already using. Using well worn and supported formats and existing multi-platform code.
I'll have to check all the bits will work, sure, and the good thing about having a separate repository is that it's going to let us be more experimental.
As for deps. I'll let you make a snap for every extension contributor ��� ��� It's a bloody minded way of making people do lots of work though.
Overall the proposed direction is tentative, I'm fishing for better ideas. It's still the best one so far.
