Time for laspy v. 1.4.2 ? about laspy HOT 15 CLOSED

I've migrated laspy to a new organization, and made you both members. Howard was already on the pypi list of owners, but I've added kbevers now as well.

Right now github.com/grantbrown/laspy should redirect to github.com/laspy/laspy. One of the things we'll want to do is update the documentation to reflect the change. Once that's out of the way, I'll go ahead and get my own contributor fork, and try to chip in when I can.

Thanks for helping out on this, it's probably a good thing to get actual LIDAR people more involved 😆

@brycefrank: check out this pull request. If you want to take a look at the remaining testing issues, we should be able to get it merged in and start supporting python 3.

This is a fair point, and I'll try to get to it soon.

It's becoming clear (to me at least) that it would be helpful to hand off some of the responsibility for maintaining the official laspy repository; I'm no longer working on this professionally, and am having trouble finding the time to give it the attention it deserves. Thoughts, @hobu?

from laspy.

I can take over maintenance/release.

Also, @kbevers is trustworthy 😄

from laspy.

Sure, I can give a helping hand as well

Ok @kbevers release away 😄

@grantbrown Thanks.

Ok @kbevers release away 😄

Will do! I haven't looked too closely into this yet. Is this just a matter of bumping the version number in setup.py and laspy/__init__.py and the run publish.sh?

from laspy.

Pretty much (though my memory is honestly a little hazy - I don't do this much as you've noticed). Publish.sh won't upload a windows installer, for that you'll need to do some combination of bdist and wininst: more here.

Thanks so much by the way!

So, there it is. laspy v. 1.4.2 is released. I haven't done the windows stuff yet, but I'll do that later when I'm using a windows computer. If it is even necessary, don't people install python packages with pip anyway?

from laspy.

Is there any talk for a Python 3 compatible version?

If it is even necessary, don't people install python packages with pip anyway?

They do, although it's starting to be a minority in the scientific world. But you want to build wheels with python setup.py bdist_wheel, not .exe or .msi (which were mentioned above).

from laspy.

@rgommers That's exactly what I did. That should satisfy everyones needs.

Great, thanks!
