[Debian-med-packaging] [Bug 1748411] Re: Python 3 wrapper not included in python-gdcm

[Gert Wollny]

In the debian/rules file it is stated:

# Need to make sure to build using the same vtk/python version:

This is from the previous maintainer who is also upstream, so I guess he
knows what he is talking about. The current version of VTK in Debian is
VTK6, and this version doesn't support python3.

VTK7, which supports python3 is stuck in the Debian new pipeline and we
have to wait until this new package is accepted until we can move gdcm
to python3.

Title:
  Python 3 wrapper not included in python-gdcm

Status in gdcm package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Python 3 wrappers for gdcm are readily available when compiling from
  source. In cmake config, the following options should be set:

  GDCM_BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON
  GDCM_WRAP_PYTHON=ON
  CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE

  Also PYTHON_EXECUTABLE, PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR and PYTHON_LIBRARY should
  be set accordingly. I generated the wrappers under Python 3.6 and
  successfully tested them on JPEG2000 compressed dicoms. .py files and
  the library attached.

  Could the maintainers add Python 3 version to this package?
  (Alternatively, should python3-gdcm package be created?)
