Looking to make a coding contribution to a small project?

Hi fellow developers,

Perhaps you know a bit of Python and maybe some C++ too, and you’d like to contribute to a free software project. One possibility is the python binding to libraw, rawkit. Rawkit doesn’t support libraw 0.18, which effectively means it’s unusable with a Linux distro being released at this time. That’s a real shame, as being able to render a raw file from python code is something plenty of photography-related free software programs coded in python can use.

The fix proposed by the developer doesn’t look too difficult: Double exception with Libraw 0.18.1 · Issue #121 · photoshell/rawkit · GitHub

I do not consider myself a developer, but I am looking into creating a new structs file for the 0.18 version.
The LibRaw 0.18 versions contains some new structs which have to be defined in the new structs file, that should not be a problem.
I am uncertain about some of the datatypes, I would need some help in selecting the correct c_types.
