Description
Currently pdal
package has a lot of dependencies including Python3 and related packages, see https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/2732#comment:29. Python3 dependencies will enlarge significantly GRASS Windows standalone binaries since GRASS uses Python2 only.
Would be useful to split current package into pdal
and python3-pdal
to avoid Python3 dependency for core pdal
package (similarly to other packages like gdal
, python3-gdal
, etc.)

Same applies to GRASS - it also introduces a python2 dependency to QGIS3…

Right. But, well, it's not answer for the question why there is for pdal
a Python3 dependencies.

the question why there is for pdal Python3 dependencies
PDAL both embeds and extends Python, and it is built against Python3 for OSGeo4W, not Python2. The pdal-python package will not work against Python2. There is some background on the topic at https://github.com/PDAL/PDAL/issues/1478
PDAL depends upon Numpy when it extends Python.
The matplotlib dependency is a convenience for the PDAL workshop example https://pdal.io/workshop/exercises/python/histogram.html

I wonder why
setup.hint
(1) contains dependencies likepython3-numpy
,python3-gdal
, andpython3-matplotlib
. In the package I found onlybin
,include
andlib
directories, nothing seems to be Python related here. Thanks for clarification in advance.(1) http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/x86_64/release/pdal/setup.hint
