This repo contains scripts to turn klippy into a proper python package with precompiled extensions. This is meant to make redistribution of klippy and klipper much easier.

Requiremets:

• Working gcc
• libusb and apropriated headers
• Python 3.8 or newer

USAGE: From the root of this repo:

1. run bin/get-sources.sh to download klipper sources, and extract klippy from them
2. run bin/modify.sh to replace the chelper logic, and apply import patches
3. run python -m build to build the wheel and sdist in an isolated environment.

Note that the wheel contains an archetecture dependant library and binary. Since libusb is dynamically linked into hubctl, and the c helper is not static, this is NOT distro portable.

DO NOT That means these packages WILL NOT follow the assumptions that manylinux makes.

Current steps:

• replace imports for klippy components with rellative imports
• adjust importlib invocations
• create __init__ in main klipper package
• update deps from scripts/klippy-reqirements.txt
• repalce c helper with nerfed one
• call origional c helper to build

TODO:

• Create a script to progmatically replace imports
• Create a script to build the c helper at buildtime, integrate same with poetry/setuptools
• create a test for running --import-test in klippy
