How is the state of this PR? The whole projects sounds amazing and looking at the commits it's looks quite promising. Based on the proposed timeline it should be close to completion? I'm starting a new project and wanted to use PCL. I thought I have to use C++, but looking at this, this looks like it could be the first Python binding that works.

Glad you like this :)

Regarding usability: This is a WIP. There are some upstream clang issues (clang doesn't parse = delete;, etc.), some integration issues (no end-to-end cmake) and a few chinks to smoothen. If you tinker with this, you might get common module bound, but beyond that might be a bit difficult (since even we haven't experimented till there)

You're welcome to contribute to this to make it better, faster 😄

PS: This is product of an awesome GSoC project by @divmadan.

Thank you for the quick answer. Based on this I think I will have to go ahead with C++. Sadly my knowledge in the area of writing and getting bindings to work is non existent and I don't think I will get time to work on that.

Is this complete? or are there any works left?

Is this complete? or are there any works left?

same question here, should this issue be closed by https://github.com/PointCloudLibrary/clang-bind/pull/1 ? or it is a different one? seems to me they are almost the same

Is this still ongoing? 2 years already?
