Compilation of *.ksy into *.py from python

kaitaistructcompile.py's Issues

Move generated files to make them correspond their names

For now keys in formats are not the paths the files should be moved to, but the paths of generated files. We should compute the original name of generated file and move them to the name in key.

Add an alternative plugin discovery mechanism in a form of an env variable, listing entry points in `pkg_resources` format.

README.md example mentions importer, but it doesn't seem to be available.

>>> import kaitaiStructCompile
>>> import kaitaiStructCompile.importer
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'kaitaiStructCompile.importer'

An issue for announcements

If you don't want to subscribe all the whole repos of the project, you can subscribe this issue to get notified about important announcements

Download the repo into a temporary folder and provide the way to address the files in the repo without choosing the path myself

Use my `fetchers` library for fetching formats repos

Look for installations of KSC if KAITAI_STRUCT_ROOT is not exposed

Out-of tree generation

For now we drop the fikes into the tree, it is not good. Setuptools creates a temporary folder, but we don't use it. We need to dig into setuptools and find the way to drop the files there in the right time. It may require hooking setuptools.

pyproject.toml support

Already done.

Using command line for interfacing compiler sucks.

We should call into compiler directly. JPype should be helpful.
