History

John Cupitt 2ea5c5f7e5 make python bandrank() work like bandjoin()

we had a custom wrapper for bandjoin(), but bandrank(), a function with
an almost identical interface, did not ... this was confusing

bandrank() now has a custom wrapper too ... this breaks API
unfortunately, but hopefully very few people were using this thing and
it's better to make this change as soon as possible

vips8 binding for Python

This overrides file adds a few small helper functions to the gobject-introspection binding for libvips. It has been tested with python2.7 and python3.4 and may work for other versions.

Documentation

There's a chapter in the libvips API docs on these overrides, see "Using libvips from Python".

vips-x.y.z/test has a test suite. Again, the test suite works with python2.7 and python3.4.

Install

libvips need to be built and installed.

The libvips typelib, Vips-8.0.typelib, needs to be on your GI_TYPELIB_PATH. It is typically installed somewhere like /usr/local/lib/girepository-1.0

You need pygobject-3.0. To confirm that it's installed, check that your Python dist-packages area has a directory called gi. For example:

ls /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi

Vips.py needs to be in the overrides directory of your gobject-introspection pygobject area, for example:

sudo cp Vips.py /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/overrides

sudo cp Vips.py /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/overrides

You can optionally pre-compile this file for a small speedup.
