Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian...@lists.debian.org, debian-...@lists.debian.org
* Package name : pyvista
Version : 0.32.0
Upstream Author : The PyVista Developers
* URL : https://github.com/pyvista/pyvista
* License : MIT
Programming Lang: Python
Description : 3D plotting and mesh analysis
PyVista is...
- "VTK for humans": a high-level API to the Visualization Toolkit (VTK)
- mesh data structures and filtering methods for spatial datasets
- 3D plotting made simple and built for large/complex data geometries
PyVista is a helper module for the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) that
wraps the VTK library through NumPy and direct array access through a
variety of methods and classes. This package provides a Pythonic,
well-documented interface exposing VTK's powerful visualization
backend to facilitate rapid prototyping, analysis, and visual
integration of spatially referenced datasets.
This module can be used for scientific plotting for presentations and
research papers as well as a supporting module for other mesh 3D
rendering dependent Python modules.
pyvista has started being used in demos for some client packages
(dolfinx), where it is used to visualize solutions. It would be nice
to be able to run these demos without seeing the "pyvista is required
to visualise the solution" warning message.
Well suited to team maintenance under the Debian Python Team, but
could be adopted by more specialized teams such as the Debian Science
Team.

I intend to package this software, along with its unpackaged
dependencies ("scooby"), under the umbrella of the Debian Python Team.

Hello,
regrettably, I'm no longer able / interested in packaging this software. I'm attempting to officially signal it by removing my ownership, in the hopes it can be picked up by other contributor (specially in light of the recent blocking dependency from python-scooby).
Best, and thanks Drew for the collaboration that led to the initial ITP,

Thanks Francesco and Andreas. Will be interesting to see the dolfinx
demos running in their full pyvista livery.

I agree, get the basic functionality in place first :)

This is annoying problem, constrained by cmake limitations. Other
packages are also affected, like spglib, which then constrains pymatgen.
The problem is that cmake does not allow for building python modules
over multiple python versions. The FEniCS project has been smarter
about it, keeping the C++ library and the python module build separate
(the first using cmake, the latter using setup/pyproject).
Not much we can do about it with vtk9 in the short term. Complaints
should be pushed to kitware though.
They seem to think it should be done in your source, which is pretty
weird.
https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/issues/21797
Different source dirs makes little sense, but possibly cmake could be
run multiple times, once for each python, in separate build dirs.

Perfectly fine for me.

Sounds complex and I'd love to stay in background given that I need to
care for >1000 packages.
> Down the line I'd want to have that too, because that's what I actually need for plotting within jupyter notebooks in my libraries, see for instance

+1

Perfectly fine for me. Feel free to turn the RFP in ITP and I can
sponsor the upload if needed.
Thanks a lot for your help
