#wrappers — Public Fediverse posts

@http

There are a lot of #tools and #libraries - in #Python and other languages - that are basically #wrappers around #compiled libraries written in C, C++, or other compiled languages. In general, installing the Python package from a repository declares the binary library package as a #dependency.

A name collision between the Python package and the underlying C library would be problematic. You could argue that a Python library that exposes the functionality of `libfrobnicate`, which is part of the `frobnicate` package, shouldn't itself be called `frobnicate` but something totally different - but people go searching for "Python for Frobnicate" so it's a natural enough name. And therefore the repository maintainers have to make it `python-frobnicate` etc.

Our family participated in our first #GreenUpDay, a #Vermont tradition. We picked up #litter in our neighborhood park and stream, both of which were already very clean. Our haul was mostly #plastic, with the most common items being cigarette #butts and #wrappers. Our biggest retrieval was this #bike frame, but I had to leave behind several large items partially buried in rocks and sediment in the streambed and a #tire with a tree growing through it. #GreenUp #PlasticPollution #TrashyStreams

@alicetawhai hello again, your instance has different rules to this one. But we see CW as a content wrapper because the term warning gives the wrong idea. So to get to the juicy bit in the middle, you look for the lolly in the tin that you want, and take the paper off. But this means for other people browsing the flavours, who don’t like cherry ripes won’t have to digest then to get to the strawberry creams. #mastodon #lollies #wrappers.
