Python plugin development? *COMPLAINING LOUDLY*

I was pretty excited to see the 'plugins/python' dir, but my heart began to sink when (a) it failed to compile without tweaking and (b) loading it gave me this:
Code: Select all
$ src/bzfs/bzfs -loadplugin plugins/python/python.so
Python plugin currently wraps the version 5 API, but BZFS is exporting version 15. Please complain loudly
Aborted
Sooo.... ummm... what do I do to go about complaining loudly?
I'll take a look and see if I can do anything with it, but messing with c++ is hardly my idea of a good time... I have many other things to spend my allotment of headaches on :-/

the plugin is not current, it was never finished. It was writen for an older version of the API.
basicly it will not work with out changes.

Yeah, I figured as much.
Are there any plans to revive it? I sorta thought that 'Please complain loudly' meant something along the lines of 'Let us know if you are interested in this.'

at present noone has expressed a desire to continue it. You are more then welcome to fix it up and finish it off.

it exposes the API to python and can run python based plugins. Basicly it's a bridge between the C++ code in BZFS and python.
For some people Python is an easyer language then C++.

I just thought that I would mention that I AM working on this, and it's coming along quite nicely. It shouldn't be too long before it's complete enough for an alpha release.

I just thought that I'd mention that I'm still alive, just without internet access at home, so I guess maybe I'm not really all that alive, or I'm more alive, or something like that.
I haven't got much done on the plugin; not being able to play bzflag kindof takes away the desire to work on it :-/ But I still intend to get it to a usable state.

Since it seems there's no other way to contact you, mmarshall, I just wanted to make sure that you have seen this.
http://teppic.homelinux.net/svn/BZWTools/
maybe someone else that does python would like to see it, as well.
It seems teppic just updated his bzw plugin for blender.
