Data distribution ideas

[FFuser]

Since their isn't much activity I began to think to write the data application.

This is the main idea:

Python application
Split into a GTK+ part to display stuff
And a "library" part to make it easy to port to text-based, or cocoa (are their python bindings??)

The library part:
You can have multiple "repositories".
These repositories does have the data for different VDrift versions
These repositories can be of different types (HTTP, FTP, SVN, ...), it should be easy to add one (just put a file with the implementation in the direcotry)
The data can be downloaded in the main VDrift directory (should have writing rights (should be root is some cases)), the user directory (does VDrift supports this?)

The repository consists of different parts: The main data (lists, shaders, sounds, ...) and cars and tracks. User should be able to select which tracs/cars he wants to have

Any comments?
