load and unload components (halcmd doesn't really do this, it just uses exec or emc_module_helper, depending) create / destroy signals attach / detach pins to/from signals get status information walk pin/param/component/thread lists (maybe with options for returning the whole list as a python list, or iterating through) It would be great to have a python halcmd, where you could use "eval" (or similar) to do all the things that python can do, with HAL - evaluate expressions to set values, conditionals and loops, etc. > I'd appreciate some feedback if this is complete b.s./so-so/great before I > start though ;-) > It looks great to me. - Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
