Is there a recommended "Hello World" sample for PyGL?
I've been using a couple of Python programs on Ubuntu 10.04 for about a
year. These programs are no longer available through Ubuntu, but I
haven't found anything current that does what they do, so I want to
figure out how to update them so they can work on Ubuntu 12.04. I have
the source code for each.
One is called Transcribe and appears to use gstreamer for the meat of
what it does, which is to play an audio file. What makes it a bit unique
is that it includes a built in "backspace" of about 2 seconds when pause
is invoked. This is useful for a transcriptionist who must pause and
resume the playback often during the process of transcribing something,
like an interview.
The other is a program called footpedal which provides an interface to a
USB foot pedal that lets it control pause, rewind, fast forward. The
program footpedal was written with a more general purpose in mind and
includes several other options for what the three pedals can do besides
those needed to control the playing of an audio file.
There hasn't been any recent activity on the web sites of these
programs. Plus, I'd like to combine the features of footpedal with the
features of Transcribe. Thus, I'm looking at how to work with Python. As
I say that I realize that Python is only one of the things I need to
learn to work with. I took a look at:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Novacut/GStreamer1.0
and discovered that I need to know about PyGL instead of PyGST, and that
I should be using GStreamer1.0 instead of GStreamer0.10. I had a look at
the sample code and sort of followed it, too.
What would help would be a recommendation on where to find the
equivalent of "Hello World" for PyGL, or any other ideas on where I
should start.
Thanks.
