It would definitely make sense, but I think this is an issue in the preCICE documentation, not the Python bindings documentation.

I have encountered `.pvd` files in the wild, but not `.series`, as far as I can remember. Definitely a nice addition!

I think this could still be interesting if we wanted to get preCICE into, e.g., the Debian Science repository. This is something we could still not want, as it could...

One hesitation we always had was that preCICE is not only the core library, but also many other packages that depend on it (language bindings, integrations/adapters to other solvers, examples,...

This approach sounds a bit dangerous/complicated to me: we currently have an "always exchange", and exchanging means going through all the steps of the algorithm. But we have to add...

Related to #1488? At least in terms of the API.

I understand the problem, but I think that it is not that prominent, and such a solution would only introduce more problems. But a very interesting idea, for sure. We...

Ah, now I understand that you mean this as an additional feature, not redesigning the whole API. In that case, yes, why not (besides the effort to develop and maintain)....
