Hi, here goes the criticism. This script is a little limited. It is not in Python, so windows users won't be able to use it. It seems to rely on several external programs and this will limit its audience too.
Having a script to interface with bt written in Python will increase its adoption and chances for patches. On Mon, Dec 29, 2008 at 3:53 AM, Trent W.
