i'm happy that gnu world exists ;) aldrin thanx to remind me on that once again...

Tell me what you think! that seems to me more clear and more consistent with event.dest and probably some other stuff... also it looks more pythonic i would say... even set_data() is easy to use too.. i use a lot ipython interactive shell so attributes are shown as result of auto completion + if you would put """documentation strings""" it will also come out with basic documentation of what is it for and how to use it... > Well, that's what asoundlib says... weird, don't you think? i was pissed but as usually being the lamest in programming i had no one but myself to blame ;) > Remember: python is far away of real-time so if you get weirds timings > you may reconsider using a queue anyway! my pyalsa piece of code is part of handling gamepad events in pyqt4 loop so i thought to send events as soon as i get them from /dev/input/js0 should be handled without any queue and trying to send them directly.. am i right in this particular set up? i'll try to get into queues in the later phase of my development... _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
