Configure script does not check for python headers

[jmtulloss]

The autoconf system does not die if you don't have the correct python headers. It needs the python headers, so it should probably check for them

True - need to check for them, and compile without them, as Python is not required for any part of CWiid to function.

So what about:

http://bugs.debian.org/434295

"Starting the latest wminput fails with the following error message:

ImportError?: No module named cwiid"

[dsmith]

Good question. Python is currently required, but it will be an optional dependency for 0.6.00 (to be released soon). However, wminput will be compiled differently if cwiid-python is installed - how does Debian handle this?

[toots]

hum...

The maintainer of the packages decides which option he wants for the binary package, so I will of course activate python support.

[dsmith]

In that case, cwiid-python will need to be a dependency of wminput.

The Gentoo ebuild will have a use flag.

[toots]

Yes, this is why the bug above is closed ;)

Keep the good work !

Just committed r137, which adds a --with-python option to configure, allowing you to specify a python version, or pass --without-python to run without python support. Note that the default is to enable python if it is found. There is no error if it isn't found, unless it was explicitly enabled on the command line.

been long enough, we'll call it fixed.
