As a relatively new user to pyo, and currently working on a project using it as the base, I am very happy to see some activity here, i agree that pyo is too good to let die, but it does seem that Olivier is still active to some degree and is also approving pull requests? |

Have you received a response from him?
Yes. Actually he is now part of the developer team. His return was sparked
by these latest threads here and our will to steer things. If you read the
"calling Olivier" thread, you'll see.
So now, we're at a phase where Pyo is getting back on track with Olivier
still with us!

Actually, there is a Discord server for Pyo, but there are only a few
members. Perhaps we can make it grow. Here's an invitation link
https://discord.gg/uk3vFCvYe.

I would also love to see a more interactive community of some sort,
either through discord, matrix or even irc!

I tried to join the discord server, but it says that the link is invalid. That said, I'm not sure if that's a good idea or not. The pyo-discuss google group was supposed to be dead but is not, so part of the discussions still happen there. And here, on beleange/pyo. And probably soon on on pyo-org/pyo. And on discord. And, and, and... The community is not that big - maybe we should try and group the discussions on one medium instead of spreading them over too many services? Just my 2¢ anyway. |

while i see your point on not wanting to split the discussion too much, discord is a very different form of communication than forums, and each has a useful place. |

I do agree with Matthieu on not splitting the (still tiny) Pyo community, but I also like the idea of a non-centralized space. Now it's the google group which is owned by Olivier, or am I wrong in that? Since we have a new repository with already six owners, we could move all discussions there. We could have a transition period of one or two months before we delete any other group, or at least announce them as obsolete (deleting might not be wise, for documentation reasons). |

With this message I want to let everyone know that Aaron, Sean and I have decided to take over Pyo, as it is obviously abandonware and we think it's too good to just die.
Two weeks ago I sent a message in Pyo's Google group addressing Olivier, to see if he replies. He didn't, so a week later I sent the same message here and again got no reply.
We have now forked Pyo and it lives here https://github.com/pyo-org/pyo. We have tested it with Python3.14 on Linux and it works fine, but we do need Windows testers. We don't have wheels in PyPI yet, so anyone willing to test it should compile from sources.
Olivier had switched compiling from using the setup.py script, to
python3 -m build, but the script still works fine (on Linux, at least, after Aaron refirbished it). If you want to compile Pyo with double precission, all you need to do (after installing dependencies) ispython3 setup.py --use-double.We still haven't created a documentation page, so you'll have to refer to the old one for compiling, https://belangeo.github.io/pyo/compiling.html. In there, Olivier writes: "Here is how you can compile pyo from sources on Linux and MacOS (if you are interested in the adventure of compiling pyo from sources on Windows, you can take a look at my personal notes in windows-10-64bit-build-routine.txt).".
This is the page he refers to, https://github.com/belangeo/pyo/blob/master/scripts/win/windows-10-64bit-build-routine.txt.
Keeping Pyo alive has now become a collective effort, so your contribution is important. Windows users, please give some time to Pyo and try to run the latest with Python3.14 so we can finalize things. I'll be watching this thread and the conversations page here, in case people have questions (that I can hopefully answer).
I'll keep everyone posted about how this is going.
All the best,
Alexandros
