Hey everybody, I was not planning to write this before next year or so, but in a recent chain of emotional reactions I've started to think about that the time has come.
My name is **Erkan Ozgur Yilmaz**, probably a couple of you chubs would know/recognize me from my not anymore very active blog or from this group. I'm the writer/architect (always loved this title) of a python library called **Stalker**, which happens to be an Open Source Production Asset Management Library, that sounds like a bold description, and I've always scared about the heavy weight of this project title. Stalker is written to solve things that I define to be a problem in my everyday work. It has started to be the library to fit in to the way we work in our studio or others may work in their studios. I've always tried abstract it from the studio it is developed in and always tried to look from a much wider perspective to keep it useful for most of us. If you start getting excited about it, I've written a lot of things in to the not quite finished documentation of Stalker and it is a good idea to start reading the API tutorial page at http://pythonhosted.org//stalker/tutorial.html (probably the installation page needs to be updated, but it is not so much different than installing an ordinary python library with setuptools). The source code can be found in https://github.com/eoyilmaz/stalker We are using Stalker along with other libraries like **Stalker Pyramid** (Pyramid based WebApp) and **Anima** (Pipeline tools developed on top of Stalker) in our current feature film project in Anima Istanbul. I don't consider **Stalker Pyramid** and **Anima** as solid as Stalker it self but they are a bunch of example that shows how Stalker can be used in a Web application and in PyQt4/PySide UIs (interested in PyQt4/PySide UIs for Maya, Nuke, Fusion, Houdini, Photoshop check "anima.env" and "anima.ui" modules). Although Stalker became a mature and production stable (developed with TDD practices from day 0, currently has around 1500 tests and growing), I don't think that I'm going to stop developing it, it will grow older with me. So, please use it, test it and most importantly enjoy it.
