PIP installable python libraries

[Carl Nobile]

Hi all,

Are there any plans to make this library PIP installable. This would be
mean putting it out on https://pypi.python.org/pypi. I'm not sure if the
current python code has been written in such a way that it can be run on
both Python 2.7.x and Python 3.4 and up.

It seems that using cmake may be a blocker to doing this, but I haven't
investigated this thoroughly to see if the standard setup.py mechanism will
work with cmake.

I'm finding that not being able to use pip to install libftdi is a serious
issue as many professionals use virtualenv to build packages as this would
need to have a pip installable package.

Thanks,
Carl

This is an old thread but I agree with the OP here.

On the other hand, I think pyftdi looks pretty good (not based on
libftdi though).
