PyGTK track editor idea

[thelusiv]

OK, I will see what I can whip up in terms of basic gui and Python code to go with it. Hopefully others will be able to pick up on it and add things. I thought Python would be a good language to go with since, as Joe said, we use it for Blender export scripts. Also, our build system, SCons, is all written in Python (and its SConscript files are also all Python). So, the more Python knowledge our team has, the better, I say...

Joe, when you mention using whitespace as a token, are you talking about how Python assumes code block nesting from indentation? At first this seems confusing to most people with C/C++ backgrounds but really it makes things way easier in the end. Not having to worry about the curly braces and what not is very nice. You just have to remember to be consistent. Personally, I do two spaces for indentation in Python.

I might get something set up tonight, it will be very basic though. And yeah reece146, this tool could be viewed as a prototype that could then be rewritten in C++ later, or if it works well enough, it could just be used as the finished product.
