lightwave 3d 9.6 sdk trouble - c

Are there tutorials for the SDK (or at least an example), about how to create an export plugin (extract polygons from scene)?

In Lightwave, you're not forced to write an export plugin to extract the polygons from a scene/object : the LWO and LWS are documented (enough) to parse them quite easily.
The file formats documentation are in filefmts folder of the SDK. You can find libs that parse Lightwave files also, such as Open Asset Import library.
If you still need to do it as a plugin, there's a sample plugin for Modeler, in the sample/Modeler/Input-Output/vidscape folder.

You can find a reasonable amount of LW export plugins on the web. Some of them are compiled .p plugins, but some are Python .py or LScript *.ls. Two latter can be edited and tweaked with text editor of your choice to individual needs quite easily.
There are wikis on the web about Lightwave API commands available from script as well.

Where to find definitions of pre-build images of SageMaker?

I am trying to build on top of the SageMaker pre-built image sagemaker-base-python-310 (listed here). For example, start from pre-built image and add additional requirements to it.
Who could point where to find the definition of the container underlying such image (e.g. DockerFile)?
What I tried
Searched on AWS GH Repos
Searched in ECS
SageMaker Studio images aren't available publicly. The DLC based images (such as Pytorch, TF, etc.) are essentially built on top of the frameworks (see https://github.com/aws/deep-learning-containers), but Base Python, Data Science etc. are not open source.
If you're looking to add packages and such as part of customization, I'd recommend using LCC scripts.

Is it possible to embed a package without to copy it?

Say there we have the package encoding/json. Can I just create a package mypackage and embed all the functions (at least the public functions) into my package without to copy them by hand and basically do calls back to the actual json package? I'm developing a cross platform (Google app engine / native ) solution and I would find a such solution quite useful.
No.
It sounds like you want some sort of package inheritance, this is not a supported feature.

Is it possible to use pyminifier with py2app?

I have a python 3.4 app which I want to publish to the app store. I also want to obfuscate the code as much as possible. I found the pyminifier library which seems to be perfect for the job. However, I am not able to figure out how to use it for an app that is packaged using py2app. I am not even sure if that is possible. I am also open to other strategies to obfuscate.
You need declare all imports in the obfuscated file before use py2app
import zlib, base64, os, paramiko
exec(zlib.decompress(base64.b64decode('eJyVUl2P..."

Jar files for PDF generation through Java

Where can i get the following jar files from-:
adobe-livecycle-client.jar
adobe-usermanager-client.jar
adobe-utilities.jar?
How do i download these jar files?
You buy them. And from the looks of things, they're not going to be cheap.
If you are looking for a free, open-source solution for generating PDFs, the most widely-used solution is iText, available here.
well for java based PDF solutions...we dont have a clean way i guess-still.. all solutions are primitive and kind of workarounds... No easy solution for
1. Designing a template of a PDF
2. Then at runtime using java, populate data into this template...either using xml or other datasources...
such a simple requirement and NONE has a good "open-source and free" solution yet !
Eclipse BIRT comes close.. but does not handle Barcode elements ..OOB.

How to dynamically generate a pdf from Google's appengine?

I'd like to create an application that would run on Google's appengine.
However, this application needs to be able to generate PDFs dynamically.
How could I do this?
You can use the reportlab library to generate a PDF from Python. You can just include the ReportLab files in with your application's code, or you can include a zip archive of the ReportLab code, and insert it into your application's sys.path.
To overcome the number-of-files limit in google appengine, you could package your reportlib in a zip file and use it. Be sure you check out this issue i bumped into..
http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=1085
Also, you can use pisa, htmllib and pyPdf to generate the pdf using html templates.
All the best.

I would recommend PyFPDF, which is a pure-Python port of the lightweight yet highly powerful PHP FPDF library. It is hardly a few dozen kilobytes.
See http://code.google.com/p/pyfpdf/
Google has a new "Conversion API" that may solve all your problems. Here's a description from the site:
The App Engine Conversion API converts documents between common filetypes using Google's infrastructure for efficiency and scale. The API enables conversions between HTML, PDF, text, and image formats, synchronously or asynchronously, with an option to perform optical character recognition (OCR).
