On the other hand moving to a separate repo would likely lose our git history (not sure if we can keep it, i doubt) which would be a bummer IMHO.
You can use git filter-branch to extract the python bindings (assuming it's self contained in the python/ directory) while keeping history:
« To rewrite the repository to look as if foodir/ had been its project root, and discard all other history:
git filter-branch --subdirectory-filter foodir -- --all » (this example comes from git filter-branch manpage)
Okay, good to know :-) i would still slightly prefer to keep them in tree for the other reasons, but that would less be an issue if we move to a separate repo. thanks !
