Hi,

In our lab, Blender is used as a Python Module, but it has to be
recompiled with the option WITH_PYTHON_MODULE=ON, as described on this page:

https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/117200/how-to-build-blender-as-a-python-module


Could it be possible to provide this Python Module directly in Debian ?

Kind regards,

Adrien Grellier

Hi!

[...]

Oh, you're using blender from stable/stretch.
You got 2.79b release in stable because it was the easier way to get a
bunch of security problems fixed all at once.
But it happens once in a while, and a wishlist bug is not one of those
cases that brings a new sec revision in stable.
So, even if I'd add the python module, you won't get it since new
packages from unstable don't move to stable. Never.
A possible way is to have the python module built in unstable, let it
migrate to testing and then ask for a backport package of that
version.

Hope this helps.

Indeed we're using the stable version of Debian.

It's not a problem at all, my question is more for a mid-long term
period : for now, people are recompiling blender by hand, but in the
future if the module can be provided directly by Debian, it would spare
time for our staff and students, and probably other users too.

So If you can add it to sid/testing, it's good for me, backport would be
heaven ;-)

If it's in sid, I can recompile the package for our needs.

Kind regards
