[Marble-devel] Question about Python bindings for Marble

[Andrew Manson]

Hi Eric, 

I too know very little about python bindings but I would suggest that you 
create a bug on the bugs.kde.org website. In your case I believe that it 
should be a wishlist bug. 

I'm sure that someone will reply to you soon about this, either here or on the 
bug tracking site.
