Python 3.10 VPI bindings and support for Ubuntu 22.04

[carlos.alvarez]

Hi!

I am running a robotics stack using Ubuntu 22.04 because we rely on ROS IRON which only has binaries from Ubuntu 22.04. Ubuntu 22.04 comes with python3.10 and our stack also relies on that new version of python

We are trying to install VPI python bindings but there are only binaries for python 3.8 and 3.9 as you can see in this index: Index

So there are 2 questions:

1. The VPI lib source is proprietary AFAIK. How can I get them to work with python 3.10, how could we bind them from C? You responded in this forum almost 2 years ago that you were planning to open source the pybindings, any news on that? Python 3.8 VPI bindings

2. Because we also develop locally in a x86_64 machine, we want to install VPI binaries in our local environment which is also ubuntu22.04. Nonetheless it seems you don’t have an index yet for jammy like you do for focal (https://repo.download.nvidia.com/jetson/x86_64/focal) as stated in the instructions to install VPI here VPI - Vision Programming Interface: Installation . Jammy was released almost 1.5 years ago, how can we install VPI in jammy?

Hi,

1. We do want to open source the Python binding.
Let us check the latest status and share it with you.

2. We need to check this with our internal team.
Will share more info with you as well.

Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for your patience.

Unfortunately, we cannot share any schedule info here.
But open-sourcing Python binding and host Ubuntu 22.04 support do in our further plan.

Thanks.
