We expect to continue refining the Python API syntax, and look forward to potential additional refinements when we look at Masaki Aono's code patterns with Myeong Won Lee.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Meanwhile the existing initial "X3DPSAIL" build has a lot of pieces/parts, closely tied to Java and X3DJSAIL "full" .jar as underlying engine. Python installation and configuration was quite tricky, for me at least. The X3DJSAIL build currently takes multiple libraries to create, which is difficult and complex to set up... but using X3DJSAIL .jar sidesteps all that.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Things are steadily improving. The Java code examples can now be tested as a whole for each X3D Examples archive, or for individual scenes. Testing of the Python examples at least occurs in the large; more improvements expected, including singleton conversion/compilation/execution of X3D python models. Round-trip testing means we have recently achieved spiral improvement stage, which is a big accelerator guaranteeing steady forward momentum. Our next new "hill to climb" in June will be attempting creation of a Python PIP module to further simplify use. We shall see... this is a marathon, not a sprint.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We are committed to providing reusable X3DPSAIL package at Web3D 2019 Conference just prior to SIGGRAPH this summer. A topic for Friday's teleconference will be submission of an X3Dv4 Implementations Tutorial for review... am expecting that JavaScript JSON Java Python C C++ C# XML (.x3d) and ClassicVrml (.x3dv) will all be part of that. If our colleagues get X3D Python running via C, then a Python Cython port (for native language support) might even be possible. A number of people have already expressed interest in X3D use via Python in Jupyter notebooks as well... conceivably X_ITE itself might also be part of the Jupyter environment.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Hoping that continuing progress on this big plan gets us to the point where programmers such as yourself can try things out starting this summer. The Python work is fully public and under version control. Direct feedback always helps and is always welcome.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Looking even further ahead at standardization:</p><p class=MsoNormal>a. Planned end date for accepting X3Dv4 functionality proposal (e.g. nodes, components) is 16 DEC 2019.</p><p class=MsoNormal>b. X3D Working Group will finalize document editing and confirm multiple implementations during January~March 2020 before recommending adoption.</p><p class=MsoNormal>c. Subject to Web3D Consortium member approval of X3Dv4, Web3D draft publication and formal ISO submission immediately follows.</p><p class=MsoNormal>d. Corresponding document editing, updates and submissions for each of the 19776 language bindings and 19777 file encodings then proceed next, upgrading each to X3Dv4.</p><p class=MsoNormal>e.
