cam_qt.py has a bunch of utility functions for pixel format conversions.
Create a new libcamera submodule for these.

Also create a symlink from the build dir to the source dir for those new
submodule, so that we can run the bindings directly from the build dir.

Hi Tomi,

Thank you for the patch.

I'm not sure I like this much. Do we really want to create a format
conversion library that will we'll eventually have to maintain with a
stable ABI ?

That's a good question. I've been thinking a lot about what exactly 
should be bindings module contain.

Just the bare-bone bindings? Then it's probably not very pythonic and 
not easy to use.

Or try to keep to the bare bones feature-wise (i.e. no conversions 
features like this), but add convenience features to make it look more 
pythonic? Then the API deviates from the C++ API.

Or bare-bone bindings, but a separate, pure python library on top? What 
do we call the libraries, then =). And if everyone uses the pure python 
lib, what is the point of a separate bare-bone library?

I'm currently thinking that this all should be under one libcamera 
module. "libcamera._libcamera" is the bare-bones native bindings (as it 
already is), and libcamera module exposes a more pythonic version with 
some helper classes (like the MappedFrameBuffer class we already have). 
We can then have other submodules, which are not needed for libcamera 
use, but provide extra features, like libcamera.utils. Perhaps 
MappedFrameBuffer should also be moved there.

I think the main libcamera and the libcamera.utils can be considered 
separate modules, and I don't see a problem with having stable libcamera 
API, but libcamera.utils is not stable. But to make it more obvious, we 
could as well have, say, libcamera.experimental module.

That said, conversion functionality is something I'd expect to find from 
some other Python module. But if I recall right, I couldn't find a 
working bayer conversion.

I'd like the bare-bone bindings to be as close as possible to the C++
API, with differences being clearly documented and globally consistent
(e.g. all toString() functions could be replaced by __str__(), camelCase
translated to snake_case, ...). That's more or less what we have today,
and it doesn't seem problematic to me.

I expect we'll have convenience helpers that offer a higher-level API,
implemented in Python, and I expect both the low-level and the
high-level APIs to be used by different applications. Naming is a good
question though.

I like the idea of moving extra features that are not provided by the
C++ API and that are not higher-level wrappers to a separate module.
MappedFrameBuffer should go there indeed (until libcamera gets a C++
Image class).

What's the point in an API that can't be used by anyone without a high
risk of breakage ? :-)

What bothers me with a library that implement format conversion is that
it will very quickly become a large project of its own, so I don't think
it should be part of libcamera.

Just thinking out loud, I think we have some classes of "levels":

1) Really bare bones, reflects C++ API if at all possible

2) Minor pythonic helpers (like the geometry constructors taking tuples, 
or unpacking). I think these are usually add-on functions/properties to 
existing classes.

3) Helper classes like MappedFrameBuffer

4) Higher level module which possibly fully hides the libcamera module below

The last one is clearly outside the scope here. 2) is currently in the 
native bindings. I think it could be moved to the __init__.py of the 
libcamera module, although I'm not sure if that's always easily 
possible. 3) Would be in a submodule.

This would give the user the following options:

import libcamera._libcamera (to get the bare-bones)
import libcamera (to get the bare-bones + helper methods)

I don't think anyone would use libcamera._libcamera, and that's also 
implied by the naming.

Then again, if no one uses libcamera._libcamera directly, having 2) in 
the native bindings is not really an issue.

Well, things should be easy with Python. If the user has a raw bayer 
camera, and the user asks how to see the image, and we reply that you 
need to implement your own debayering function...

I think somehow we should offer code snippets or helpers that make using 
libcamera easy, even if we don't really support those helpers. Of 
course, preferably these kind of features should be found in other 
libraries that specialize in that feature-set.

It shouldn't be part of the main libcamera module. But I don't see a 
problem with offering experimental/example code as a submodule. It can 
be a separate installable.

Agreed. For 2) it could still be in C++ if that's the easiest option.

I'd make 2) part of the native bindings, yes, but would likely keep that
to "pythonic adaptations" of the API, without new features even if
small) that are not about making integration with Python easier.

If we offer a CFA interpolation function, people will start using it,
complain when it breaks, and request improvements (in the quality and/or
speed for instance). I fear that project would very quickly get out of
hands. If we made it a separate Python library we could declare it as
unmaintained and welcome take-overs.
