    "content": "Hi,\n\nI sent the v3 of the series (\"[PATCH v3 00/17] Python bindings event\nhandling\") more than half a year ago. I've addressed the review comments\nwhich I think make sense and are more or less obvious. In fact, I\nmade those changes quite soon after receiving them, again over half a\nyear ago. I also added some additional patches on top (the unittest\nimprovements).\n\nBut then I never had time to work on the biggest question, how to handle\nthe events, and so I never sent the v4. And then recently I added even\nmore patches on top. So I tought I'll just do a bit of work on the\nseries to introduce another way to manage the events, just as a hackish\nRFC, and send the series. Perhaps there are more people interested in\nthe py bindings now, and we will get more discussion and ideas. I don't\nwant us to totally forget this series =).\n\nSo, here it is. The \"py: New event handling\" patch adds the events as in\nv3. But in the topmost patch, \"py: Hack for different event enable\nmechanism\" I draft another way we might handle the enabling and\ndisabling of the events.\n\nOne thing I didn't change was Laurent's comment that camera.stop()\nshould not return the disconnect events, only the request and buffer\ncompleted events. I'm still not sure about that, but I think if we go\nwith the method I introduce in the topmost patch, it probably makes\nsense to leave the disconnect events alone in camera.stop().\n\nAnd, for those not familiar with the series: This changes the Python API\nin a breaking manner. Changes to scripts using the Python bindings are\nneeded (see the \"Use new events support\" patches):\n\n- Many methods throw exceptions now, instead of returning an error value\n- The handling of events has changed. Previously it was all about\n  request completed, and no other events. Now we support all the events.\n\n Tomi\n\nTomi Valkeinen (15):\n  py: Use exceptions instead of returning error codes\n  py: New event handling\n  py: cam.py: Use new events support\n  py: unittests.py: Use new events support\n  py: simple-capture.py: Use new events support\n  py: simple-continuous-capture.py: Use new events support\n  py: simple-cam.py: Use new events support\n  py: Drop get_ready_requests()\n  py: Add hotplug-monitor.py\n  py: unittests.py: Add weakref helpers and use del\n  py: unittests.py: Add test for refs & keep-alives\n  py: unittests.py: Fix type checker warnings\n  py: Move Color Space and Transform classes to separate files\n  py: Improve stub type generation for PyCameraEvent\n  py: Hack for different event enable mechanism\n\n src/py/cam/cam.py                            |  44 +--\n src/py/examples/hotplug-monitor.py           |  39 +++\n src/py/examples/simple-cam.py                |  34 +--\n src/py/examples/simple-capture.py            |  36 ++-\n src/py/examples/simple-continuous-capture.py |  38 +--\n src/py/libcamera/meson.build                 |   2 +\n src/py/libcamera/py_camera_manager.cpp       | 180 +++++++++--\n src/py/libcamera/py_camera_manager.h         |  68 ++++-\n src/py/libcamera/py_color_space.cpp          |  71 +++++\n src/py/libcamera/py_main.cpp                 | 303 +++++++++++--------\n src/py/libcamera/py_transform.cpp            |  81 +++++\n test/py/unittests.py                         | 280 ++++++++++++-----\n 12 files changed, 853 insertions(+), 323 deletions(-)\n create mode 100644 src/py/examples/hotplug-monitor.py\n create mode 100644 src/py/libcamera/py_color_space.cpp\n create mode 100644 src/py/libcamera/py_transform.cpp"
