The ArtBus Python Module
An ArtBus Module For Python
For a while now I have been thinking about how to 'leverage' the experience that Matthew Nelson and I have gained writing Python code for ArtBus, in a way that might be helpful to other Python Programmers.
The basic idea was to come up with a way that would allow others to easily and painlessly integrate ArtBus communication into their Python code... and so to this end I've created a 'module' for Python: artbus.py.
So if you are Python programmer, looking to add ArtBus communication to your projects, here is a way to do so. You can dowload the module, a manual, example code, and some other supporting materials (all as one zipped file) from here.
As you will see I have tried to keep the API as simple and straight-forward as possible. To this end there are some 'interanlized' methods (which may or may not be a good thing) and so, until this module has been tested more, it should be considered very Beta. However I am relasing it in it's current state with the hope that others will start using it in their projects and can provide feedback.
So let me know if you like it rdrink@saic.edu
