I have been tasked to come up with an audio recorder desktop (cross platform if possible - but linux only is OK) that:
1. records a lecture as an MP3 file (pymedia?) 2. Provides a login form for server credentials 3. Uploads via XMLRPC (pyxmlrpclib) to the server as a podcast I have been working on this (having never really worked with Python before) for the past 24 hours or so, and would just like to get some feedback on the direction that I am taking if possible. 1. Is pymedia an active project? Should I use something else? 2. GUI design - I am using glade designer and pyGTK. Good choice? 3. pyXMLRPClib - active? Something better? 4. I see that there are literally thousands of somewhat external looking libraries for python, I presume that there is some way of bundling all the deps into a single source and then compiling? or otherwise packaging them all (this software will be for academia, so difficult installs are out!) 5. Editor - I am using Eric (which I quite like), any advice on IDE's? Any help would be massively appreciated! Python looks like a *really* easy and powerful language (hey, I managed to do a desktop application in a few hours and I am a botanist!) and I would like to do a lot more with it. I have a PHP background (taught myself that also) so C syntax is almost like my native tongue :) but Python syntax seems just as easy, if not easier! I am still going through Mark Pilgrims' tutorials (dive into ones) and am slowly getting the hang of things, so if these questions seem inane, please do excuse me and feel free to tell me to RTFM!
