Hi all I am new to this group so 'Hello All'
I have a PC which is running linux and in it have installed a digital satellite card. I would like to write some software to access the card, tune it and bring back video. Basically a home brew DVB-s application. Being a non/new programmer (apart from some basic too many years ago) I decided to teach my self Python as from what i have read it's an easy and powerfull language to learn. I have been at it a few weeks and am getting on OK and finding it reasonably OK to pick up. The problem is i can find little to no information on programming for DVB cards or on how to access the Linux tv API in Python but I can find lots of information in C. This is making me think should i bother with Python and just learn C even though this will probably take a lot longer. Can some one help me or point me at a resource somewhere or would it be best to just learn C instead. I am aware this is a complicated little project for someone just starting out but it will be a multifaceted program with loads of interesting classes, functions and loops and i don't have to start with the really difficult stuff first. I just want to know if it's possible under python to access the DVB card and if so how? Cheers Grayham -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
