[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v1 0/2] Raspberry Pi vendor controls

[David Plowman]

Hi Naush

I think this is all great. The only thing I'd like to consider is how
we can make this available to Python applications, which is where many
(probably most) of our users are.

Do we need to put some "vendor specific stuff" into the libcamera
Python bindings to help interpret these structures?

Arguably we could leave all that to Picamera2 but then it doesn't
necessarily help every Python user. And also someone needs to do it!

Any thoughts, anyone?
