After much suffering and hunting irrelevant issues I discovered that
with Python 3.8 the PATH is no longer taken into account when looking
for DLLs on Windows, and thus all my module imports fail with the most
extremely anger-inducing nondescript trash message ever:
ImportError: DLL load failed while importing utility: The specified module could not be found.
Fortunately, I have been already doing a very nasty hardcoding operation
for this very problem, for the prebuilt tools, so all that was needed
was turning that into something nicer the user can have control over.
If enabled, this causes sys.setdlopenflags() being called with
RTLD_GLOBAL before the native Corrade module is loaded, in a hope to
resolve recurring nightmares with static Corrade and Magnum libraries
being linked into multiple dynamic modules.
Breaking changes, sorry. Also remade the SceneTools hierarchy test to
not be that much redundant -- the name- and ID-based overloads can be
tested together.
Right now the importer/converter APIs are not checked against the
features so using them wrong will assert and make Python die. But there
are at least the enums exposed now so it's possible to prevent the
assert.
They should be named after the plural EnumSet, not the C++ enum. That
was already done for the enums in the primitives library as well as all
shader flags, but not here. They should all also contain a NONE value
for an empty set.
Breaking change, sorry. To avoid similar mistakes in the future, this is
now documented in the API Conventions page.
It used to take an initializer list, not anymore. Will test this better
once I have to build e.g. AssimpImporter for some other reason -- then I
can use this function to prefer it for loading glTFs and see how that
manages.
Need that for configuring plugins -- originally thought I'd wait until
the class is reworked, but that isn't coming anytime soon given there's
insane pressure on other things, so I have to figure out a plan B.
The interface is the most barebones possible, exposing nothing that I'd
later plan to rename or remove. Just the least possible amount of APIs
to make it possible to configure plugins, and no custom type support yet
either -- if you need to write a vector, write it as a formatted string
instead, sorry.
To make it possible to test the APIs in isolation instead of through
the plugin interface, I added also a Configuration class. Also just the
least amount possible to cover the code with tests.
