Going with the general flow of modularization, I'm wondering if the<br>
wrapping tools like Wrapping/vtkWrapPython.c should be moved to a new<br>
directory called Wrapping/Tools.<br>
<br>
Pros: A Wrapping/Tools directory would nicely fit the two-level<br>
directory structure that VTK has adopted.<br>
<br>
Cons: Wrapping/Tools can't be made into a proper "module" as far as I<br>
understand it, because it isn't a library for other modules to link<br>
to. Rather, it is a set of executables that other modules need to<br>
execute during the build process.<br>
<br>
Main reason that I'm wondering is that I have some changes to the<br>
wrapper tools that I want to merge, and they include an overhaul of<br>
Wrapping/CMakeLists.txt. So it seems to make sense that if the<br>
wrapper tools are going to be moved, then the move should be done<br>
prior to the merge.<br>

</blockquote></div><br><div>This sounds reasonable to me. The "con" you list doesn't seem like that much of a con to me. Even if you have to make a dummy module library with a dummy function in it, I'd still say the pro outweighs it.</div>
