I theoretically do because it'd offer a basic vtk support in python3 that
VTK currently do not provide (at least in debian). That said, I'm concerned
regarding the current state of the project.
As for an example, I submitted a bug report in december regarding issues for
python3 support[1], and no answer came.
I suspect that the author of the project moved to something else.
I then have three solutions:
* Package the thing with this actual bug, but as far as I'm concerned I
consider it as grave, so I'm not really a fan of this idea.
* Patch the issue myself, as a debian patch, and package the thing with it.
* Fork the project (it's BSD 2-Clause license), patch it, and provide it as
a personnal work, with credit to the original author.
What do you think about this?
Cheers,
