[Insight-developers] Wrapping - WrapITK

[Alexandre GOUAILLARD]

hi kent,

I think moving to python makes a lot of sense and is definitely the
way of the future.

WrapITK was a one man show. The mechanism for tcl wrapping is in
place. I'm going to run it and see if we're lucky or not. I'm neither
a tcl expert nor (yet) a wrapitk expert, so I might need your help to
read / guess through the errors though. In one hour together in iowa
we should be able to assess the needed effort (or actually make it
work, who knows)

We decided at washington that TCL would not be a "first class"
citizens of itk wrapping, i.e. that the mechanism to wrap in tcl would
be here, but maintenance should be done by elements of the community
that need it (as opposed to python, java and C#).
