how to prepare an application in Python for EventGhost

Post by duffnizard »

Hi,
I started using EventGhost about 5 months ago, but then I was carried away by the option to include Python commands and scripts. Now I am pretty good at Python and I am writing some application in (wx)Python.
However, I would like to know how I should program Python programs for perfect integration with EventGhost, like responding to IR control and passing the commands to the Python host program.

Any tips?

Duff,

BTW: I am sorry to be vague at point, I didn't use EventGhost for 5 months, but heh you can talk Python to me now.

Write/develop plug-ins. That's the whole idea. You can open the source (.py files) for some existing plug-ins and study them how they are written/designed

Some experienced coders are even able to modify the core since the source code for it is open as well

You can consider EG as a "framework" or "container" that you fill with your desired functionality

wxPython is also good to understand, at least to be able to use parts of it when it is needed

Questions & Answers related to coding should be in the dedicated "Coding Corner" here at this forum

Best regards, Walter
