Hi Martin and Alex, I see where Martin is going... I would also prefer python because of its similarity in structure to everyday speech, which would mean easier learning curve than say, C++ (which I am learning right now). As Alex said, a suitable interpreter for python (or at least, a language converter between C++ and python) would not appear unless: A. An SDK is available: BrailleNote is closed-source; another product runs WM6 Classic, while another notetaker's SDK is in Korean. B. Someone needs to write the interpreter, or at least, language converters. Cheers, Joseph P.S. And I don't want to lose such a valuable programmer like you, Martin...

It would be totally independent from the C++ Braillenote infostructure. Plus, it's free open source. > Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2009 08:16:21 -0400 > From: "Alex Hall" <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Python for the BrailleNote > > The bn uses c++ for its language.
