I'll volunteer to help with a Python API design and testing as well. Being able to perform command-and-control functions as well as simple backup and recovery of objects opens up lots and lots of possibilities.
I'm not sure how complex the Bacula protocols are, but if we can manage to implement them in pure Python, then that potentially opens up Bacula development to Java (via Jython) and .NET (via IronPython) developers too. --PLB >I agree that an API should be written to make GUI programming a lot less >painful, in my case I realized that most of my problems building >pygtk-console came from the fact that the software have to "chat" with >the director like a human being, parsing director's answers, manage a >command queue, etc. something cleaner will be a lot nicer. > >I'm looking forward to continue developing pygtk-console, if you don't >mind I would like to remain this as part of the project.
