rewrite or remove python bindings

[jylam@lnxscene.org]

The python bindings are outdated, not object-oriented, et far to be complete. So they must either be totally rewritten, or simply removed, as ​http://mornie.org/blog/2007/03/25/Playing-with-ctypes-and-libcaca/ shows us ctypes can be a quite clean and easay way to achieve this.

Hi, I would like to help with the python binding. Do you think it's not worth fixing the actual C extension? I wrote the snake game using ctypes because, at the time of writing, I was not aware of your binding.

Actually, there are two way of doing this, as you know. The first one is using ctypes as you did. Easy, fast, and perfect for lazy guys like me. The second one is to update^{W rewrite the existing one. I clearly don't have the time to do this, nor has sam I guess (replace time by will, and you'll get the truth). The thing is these bindings are not object oriented, and don't follow widely accepted rules about python libraries. So, if you want to give it a try, feel free. I'd be very happy about this. But it must be done in a clever and python-oriented way, and that's a long and boring work. But I'd really appreciate you to this, really :)}

Hello,

I have generated a wrapper for libcaca using the pyglet wraptypes generator and built a simple object-oriented layer above it. The source:

Anybody wanting to help a bit? ;-)

Regards,

I am truly amazed at how well you have laid out this information. It’s easy to comprehend and read as well as informative.

It’s so well-worded that I can’t dispute the valid points you make.
