[Marble-devel] Question about Python bindings for Marble

[Torsten Rahn]

Hi Eric,

There is a plan that the MeasureTool will refactored into a plugin in Marble 
0.9/KDE 4.4.

Within which time frame do you need this functionality? Would it be ok if it 
would become part of the public API only for Marble 0.9, or does it really 
need to be 0.8?

Regards,

Torsten
