Lib doesn't seem to work

[kramer65]

So after successfully compiling and installing the lib onto my Ubuntu 16.04 machine, I now try to use the library with Python. But I'm having a hard time doing that:

>>> import pypff
>>> pff_file = pypff.file()
>>> pff_file.open("backup.pst")
>>> pff_file.get_number_of_items()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
    pff_file.get_number_of_items()
AttributeError: 'pypff.file' object has no attribute 'get_number_of_items'
>>> pff_file.number_of_items
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
    pff_file.number_of_items
AttributeError: 'pypff.file' object has no attribute 'number_of_items'
>>> pff_file.get_item(0)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
    pff_file.get_item(0)
AttributeError: 'pypff.file' object has no attribute 'get_item'
>>> pff_file.items
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
    pff_file.items
AttributeError: 'pypff.file' object has no attribute 'items'

Any idea what might be wrong here?

Maybe this helps to get some insight:

>>> for i in dir(pff_file): print i

This is WIP #2

That is a pity. The lack of Python support currently renders the lib useless for me (I really appreciate you guys doing this though).

Is there any ETA for the Python bindings?

[joachimmetz]

I'll have a look to see if I can get another experimental release going, with limited Python binding support.
