You can try the CheeseShop.  You can locate it here:
http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi.  Also, you might want to look into
the new .egg format for downloading modules (it's like 'gem' from ruby,
if you're familiar with that.)

Good Luck,
Gabe

Python and Wacom Tablets (digitizing tablets) for sketch input

[Gabe Johnson]

Hello Python people,

Does anybody have experience using Python and digitizing tablets such
as a Wacom Tablet? I would like to know if Python is capable of giving
you the high-resolution data from the tablet, or if it truncates it to
low-res integers like Java.

I have been developing some sketch recognition systems in Java, using a
Wacom Tablet (one of the cheap ones). I do not know if the problem is
at the OS level or the JVM level, but the data that I am getting from
the tablet (via Java's mouse event dispatch system) is low-resolution.
I receive tablet input in terms of integer coordinates, but the tablet
is actually giving the OS high resolution data. I do know that somebody
has hacked a JNI library to access the raw tablet data, but that is for
Windows only, and I need my application to run on any machine.

I'm also desperately trying to flee to a better language for quickly
throwing together prototypes. Java imposes too much structure, so I was
hoping to use something like Ruby or Python.

Thanks.

Gabe
