Support for Ximea camera SDK

[xtofl]

Would it be possible to add Ximea to the supported camera interfaces? We notice they have a Python SDK, but no PyPi package to 'simply install it'.

I wonder if it is possible to either add the SDK into pyLabLib directly, or via e.g. the ximea-py package (that still lacks Windows and mac support, though).

Hi! Sorry for the late reply!

Unfortunately, there are no plans for this right now. While they do offer what seems like a well-designed and easy to use library, in my experience it is almost impossible to write device communication software without an actual device (there are always some unexpect issues, border cases, and simply typos popping up), and I do not have access to any Ximea cameras.
