#39671: orfeotoolbox : update python variant ----------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: julien.malik@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.3 Keywords: | Port: orfeotoolbox ----------------------------+-------------------------------- The python variant compiles and install a new module called "otbApplication". The module "otbApplication" loads plugins currently located in /usr/lib/otb/applications. They are named 'otbapp_Something.dylib'. For them to be properly detected and loaded, the env var ITK_AUTOLOAD_PATH must be set to /usr/lib/otb/applications before loading python. Not convenient at all. To ease the process, I updated the debian package recently to : - install in a subdir of "site-package" with OTB_INSTALL_PYTHON_DIR, and not in site-package directly - create an __init__.py at install time which import the right thing and then set up the env var. Something similar shall be done in the Portfile. The __init__.py file content can be found here : http://hg.orfeo-toolbox.org/OTB- DevUtils/file/tip/Packaging/ubuntu/OTB/debian/python-otb.postinst -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/39671> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
