python implementation required for LivePreviewDemo.py missing

[maxmahlke]

I would like to run the LivePreviewDemo.py file from the ADASS_XXXII/07_python_control test dataset locally. However, the python wrapper on the develop branch does not allow to run the file:

ImportError: cannot import name '__version__' from 'sourcextractor' (/Users/max.mahlke/apps/SourceXtractorPlusPlus/SEImplementation/python/sourcextractor/__init__.py)

I checked the git log and saw that the LivePreviewDemo.py file was added on the experimental/call_on_python branch. However, checking out that branch also gave an error:

File "/Users/max.mahlke/apps/SourceXtractorPlusPlus/SEPythonWrapper/python/sourcextractor/__init__.py", line 19, in <module>
    from _SEPythonConfig import Flags
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_SEPythonConfig'

It seems that the python wrappers on both branches do not contain all files to run this demo. Is there a branch I am missing?

I allow myself to ping @ayllon directly as you added LivePreviewDemo.py in this commit.

Hi,

That demo was a preview of a work in progress based on an experimental branch that would provide a deeper python integration. I'm not sure what exact commit you would need to make it work. Unfortunately we couldn't continue working on that branch due to ayllon's departure from the team and it never reached production-ready status.
