How are the extensions typically finding things like inkex.py and simplecurve.py? AFAIK we're not installing them as Python modules so there are some path issues. Are they hardcoding them?
Something that could be separated out into a package, or module, at least for development and testing. I don't believe any of the libs need inkscape to run.
FYI - The long term issues not expected to be enabled any time soon are:
- calling internal inkscape functions - I.e. an exposed python API
- getting onto the internal UI.
- interactive control of a parameter while adjusting.
When talking about using the internal Inkscape API, do you know much of what people want there? I'm curious if we're not better of pushing people to using lib2geom than thinking how to make Inkscape into a library. I think that most of the use-cases I've seen could be handled by lib2geom.
A python wrapper for lib2geom would be AWESOME. Especially if it could be used without inkscape. +1
