A new open source project has been started with the aim of building an open Linux framework for TCP/IP enabled video camera systems.
http://www.openNetcam.net The framework will be layered on the ultra lightweight SIMPL toolkit (http://www.icanprogram.com/simpl) and when the framework is complete it will be a kind webservices lite taylored to camera systems. The target webserver is the lighttpd. There will be opportunities for openNetcam developers to create a mod-simpl plugin for that technology. Most of the systems will be deployed in an embedded Linux appliance. This will restrict the choice of programming languages for the target code somewhat. SIMPL supports C, C++, Python, Tcl/ Tk and JAVA. Of those C and C++ are probably the most embedded friendly. However, there will be lots of other aspects of the this project where Python could play a significant role. eg. test stubs. If this sort of project interests you (or if you know of anyone who might be interested) please don't hesitate to contact me offlist. bob -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
