[x3d-public] Sample X3D Python API; examples published for continuing improvement

[Brutzman, Donald (Don) (CIV)]

Am happy to report that both versions of your .py programs are now being produced and published for all models in X3D Examples Archives.

BLUF: these should greatly help us in continued improvement of X3D Python language-binding syntax.

Build log (now 10MB) includes X3D validation of RoundTrip scenes and remains updated at
https://sourceforge.net/p/x3d/code/HEAD/tree/www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/
https://sourceforge.net/p/x3d/code/HEAD/tree/www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/build.python.all.log.txt

A zip of all autogenerated python models is at

http://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/X3dExampleArchivesPythonScenes.zip
http://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/X3dExampleArchivesPythonScenes.zip.MD5

Example links to python source _.pyv1_ and _.pyv2_ are provided for each scene, for example

As before the .future.py versions fail pyjnius because of use of abstract classes.

John, do you think we should pursue changes to pyJNIus to support abstract classes?

Or... we could instead eliminate them and fully elaborate each node.  Not convinced that Python programmers might want or need abstract classes in the first place.  Certainly we don't need to implement them in this initial-design phase.

This is kind of configuration preparation is automatable using X3DUOM, of course.  Excerpts from your zip follows.  You appear to be there already, fully elaborating methods for all fields in all nodes?  Perhaps we should simply test with abstract classes omitted, or defined second?
