I'm in robotics education and we mostly work with Python, to make life easier for students. I'd love to push for more Rust, but so far there's no point to it.

Multiprocess communication is something that we found lacking in Python (we want everything to be easily pip installable) and we ended up using shared memory primitives, which is a lot of code to maintain.

What is the main roadblock for iceoryx2 Python bindings? Is it something you are looking for contributors for?

The only real roadblock for this is time. We'd welcome any contributor, especially with such an impactful contribution as this. Making iceoryx2 an option for Python would be amazing. If you or someone you know wants to take it on, we would support as much as possible.

So far for this topic, we have only done some brief research on the options available to us, such us going over the C API or using something like PyO3.
