Re: C++ and Python package combined

Thanks Leo,

I've checked out ros-bond-core now and found that it's simpler than what I have: The Python package is installed just like the rest of the library with CMake, plus there are no compiled Python extensions that would need to link against the bond library. That's why d/rules can be so simple. Unfortunately, this doesn't help much with my problem.

Cheers,

Nico

Nico,

maybe it helps. The ROS robotics packages has a lot of examples of C++ libraries
and Python code. They are located in salsa, for instance:

https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/ros-bond-core

Take one eye. Look any example of package that begins with ros-

Best regards,

Leopold
