Hello,
I have discussed this with John on the BrailleBlaster list.
We have agreed that keeping bindings separate is best, for the reason you
give.
I have offered to work on them, having written the liblouisxml bindings it
shouldn't be hard. I would either use ctypes (as used for the liblouis
bindings) or cython (as I used for the liblouisxml bindings), do others have
skills in one or the other which may mean using one or the other might make
more sense. My only restriction is that I am slightly busy until early April
and so will not guarantee any completion date until after the beginning of
April. If I were to write them then I have proposed using the Apache 2.0
license. I struggle with the GPL and LGPL and so refuse to use those
licesnes.

You could use the bindings in liblouisxml as a starting point or you
could probably generate bindings fairly easily using an interface
generator such as SWIG (www.swig.org).
Its bindings could include the Python bindings for liblouis.
I'd keep the bindings separate as there are users which use just the
liblouis bindings and we do not want to have more duplication.
Thanks
Christian
