I've recently added "binary wheels" to my Python interface to libgphoto2. These include pre-built copies of libgphoto2 v2.5.27 and are much quicker and easier for a user to install as they don't have to install libgphoto2 (development headers) and compile the interface files. One problem I encountered was the hard coding of absolute paths into where libgphoto2 looks for its camlibs and iolibs. Luckily the CAMLIBS and IOLIBS environment variables solve that problem, but I'd rather they weren't labelled as for "broken/test installations". -- Jim Easterbrook <http://www.jim-easterbrook.me.uk/>
