Unable to import brlcad._bindings.librt

[dhyams]

This is under Windows 7; used MinGW to build python-brlcad. I can import

import brlcad._bindings.libbu
import brlcad._bindings.libbn

But not

import brlcad._bindings.librt

If I try, I get

>>> import brlcad._bindings.librt
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "c:\opt\Anaconda32\lib\site-packages\brlcad-0.0.1-py2.7.egg\brlcad\_bindings\librt.py", line 334
    __time64_t = long long # c:\\opt\\mingw\\include\\sys\\types.h: 49
                         ^

Interesting. This is definitely a problem in ctypesgen. I am glad to see that libbu and libbn can be imported successfully.

Could you send me the contents of this file?

c:\opt\Anaconda32\lib\site-packages\brlcad-0.0.1-py2.7.egg\brlcad\_bindings\librt.py

Also, this might be a problem with ctypesgen specifically in the context of mingw headers (c:\opt\mingw\include\sys\types.h). I'll have to explicitly test this in the future. If you absolutely need python-brlcad to work very soon, then you could switch to using cygwin gcc to install python-brlcad.

I'm not sure how to send the file as an attachment (github markdown seems to only accept images) so here it is on Dropbox:

As for needing it to work very soon, I don't; I just wanted to try it out to see how the interface worked. A fallback will be just to write the code in C. I saw the problem and thought I'd try to help by reporting it ;)
