Anyone else in love with python?

Anyways, I have started working on a gui/framework for multi touch applications written in python.  I am currently using pyglet a toolkit for pyopengl.  Its really easy and super fast to do hardware accelerated drawing. 

Currently I only have a widget hierarchy and basic stuff written and I dont have the MY event system integrated yet (shouldn’t be too hard since touchlib can provide the events over network).  But if others are interested I will share my code. 

It’s not that i dont like actionscript or flash, but you have a lot more drawing options with openGL and python is a lot faster to write than C/C++. (Although I might port the core of the project to C or C++ once its more advanced and then provide a wrapper for python for some extra speed). 

Also python has tons of libraries for other programming tasks such as system programming and networking(dont know how much actionscript/flash lest you do in that regard)

I have used twisted to get OSC/TUIO messages into Flash using PyAMF (http://www.pyamf.org).  I have a short, blurry video showing it working using the TUIO simulator at :

Anyway, I like Python and if you need a bridge between OSC/TUIO and Flash in Python, using PyAMF is pretty straightforward.  I’ve kinda stopped pursuing Python though and have turned toward Processing, using JMyron because JMyron (http://webcamxtra.sourceforge.net/) seems fascinating and simple.  Processing has libraries for OSC that are really simple to use, I mean seriously simple.

have you seen LibAVG?  http://www.libavg.de

I have implemented pyglet event system over tuio protocol .. with help of pyliblo

I would love to see your code.  jet-plane and I(Actually he has done all the work so far, im still building my display have been working on TouchPy.  You can find it on Google Code.  Its very easy to interface to client Python apps, and allows you to really quickly write useful apps.  I have started an App Launcher that I will be uploading.  It uses kinetic scrolling, and will be a nice addition to any table once its done.

TouchPy, at this moment, has only been tested on Linux, and would probably be difficult to port, due to its X dependencies.

Really looking forward to experimenting more with python+MT… it really is great option for rapid prototyping

for the 2dcur project, i just uploaded a photo app… maybe not *quite* there, but 90% works… feedback greatly appreciated, but also note this area is getting a good amount of attention lately, and i can’t wait to see other people’s python hackery!

You should check out Python-Lux(and help us code it).  Stop by at #python-lux on IRC.freenode.net, we would really appreciate it.  We are writing a whole graphics front end for this kind of stuff, it will make coding easier for all of us.  Oh, also, its in 100% pure Python.

Cheers!
