libmed (med file / med fichier) python3 bindings on linux

[waebbl]

Hello, has anyone tried to run the python bindings of libmed outside of freecad? On my gentoo box I had problems during the import of the package, i.e. import med failed with a ModuleNotFoundError exception. By replacing the import medenum statement in the various python files with from . import medenum, this issue gets 'solved'.

I figured out how to workaround this, by sed'ing the python files in the staging area of the sandbox before actually installing them to the live system. I also got a forum account on salome-platform and will ask there whether this is known, because I wasn't able to fix this due to missing swig skills. Before I report this, I want to ask, whether this issue does exist on other linux platforms too. It might even exist on other OS's too.

I am using python-3.6.5 and the libmed-3.3.1 download link from salome-platform.

Thanks to anyone who helps investigating this.

I haven't nevertheless, shaking the tree again and bumping this to see if anyone else has...?

I remember reporting a patch to salome some time ago. But as the external smesh doesn't support libmed yet, I didn't have a look into this library anymore. for version 3.3.1 I used this patch to make the library work with python3.

Anyway I hope someone will find the time to apply changes from FreeCAD's internal smesh on the external smesh. Maybe @vejmarie.

We do not have an external smesh yet in Gentoo. I didn't have the time to investigate this package.
Thanks for your link though. The changes you made in python/CMakeLists.txt and on the SWIG files are worth trying. I will check whether this helps in solving my hack in a cleaner way.

Perhaps we should add a BUILD_MEDFILE_SUPPORT cmake flag.
