Hi,
I'm looking for a pure python, non GPL, implementation of logical to
visual library.
Long story short:
I'd like to add BiDi support for ReportLab, see Moshe's thread:
http://two.pairlist.net/pipermail/reportlab-users/2009-June/008447.html
He's using pyfribidi, a binding for fribidi:
http://pyfribidi.sourceforge.net/
Problems ?
1. Depends on a c lib, which makes deployment harder on various
platforms (easy_install, buildout etc).
2. They messed with the license. fribidi is LGPL, but they chose GPL for
pyfribidi, which spells potential problems using/distributing it with
ReportLab (BSD licensed).
Cheers
