Got me wondering if there might be potential for cooking up, say, a Python-based web UI for iTunes that could operate across a LAN? With appscript maturing and more webapp frameworks than you can shake a stick at, it might make a nice opportunity for (Mac)Python to promote itself if somebody with a bit of spare time and some prior webapp experience were interested. (has)
Definitely Has, plenty of multi-user aware stuff to write, that is what i used to do for business, but i have lost a lot of motivation to code these days.
Finally I seem to have decided on which clients and server(s) I want, though. It has taken two years of searching about.
Kind of pleased that XXX will get a kick up the arse for outsourcing my prospects - if it was them, since so many midrange tasks seem just one free Webkit away, these days.
But w.r.t. the Mac : even a simple, practically useful application takes a lot of concentrated effort - true for all GUIs, probably. pyObjc is a blessing here.
But I hope that Apple will get the Python bug, big and let us have a Pythonic way in, because there still seems to be too many artifacts in the way of coding a program on an unfamiliar OS. I know what I want to do, I just hate running my eyes up and down the long list of APIs - feels too much like accountancy or something, trying to spot the one I want. I hate to say it, but I wrote VB code when it first came out, and it was pretty awesomely easy to do off the bat. Apple need to make this stuff slightly less eclectic, only slightly :-) Or may I really should invest in a training course of some kind.
Cheers
