Description

Shall we do another attempt at providing Python bindings? I believe some work was started on this during a GSoC? I thought that this was the case, but I cannot find the relevant PR or issue. If so , Should we maybe try to finish this? I'd be willing to put in work and follow the guidance we have on this. I really enjoy working with PCL and prototyping would be substantially easier (for me at least) if we had Python bindings.

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by locating the earlier GSoC work and any related pull request or issue, since the message does not identify a file, entry point, or test. Review the project's guidance and establish which Python bindings are in scope before proposing work. Done should mean an agreed binding scope has been implemented and validated, but the issue does not define that scope.
