+--- Thread: Where is xbmc.py and xbmcgui.py (/showthread.php?tid=13806)
- earney - 2005-07-28
if i understand python correctly, when we do an import xbmc, xbmcgui, there has to be a xbmc, xbmcgui file located somewhere in the path. i cannot find these files anywhere.. the reason i'd like to know is because, i'd like to see if it is possible to modify xbmcgui.py so that when we set a control's controlup button, sometime later i can also retrieve the control which was passed to control up.
like a getcontrolup function could be added so we can get the control that the current control navigates to.
example
a=control(..)
b=control(..)
a.controlup(b)
it would be great to sometime be able to do the following:
c=a.getcontrolup()
now b==c..
i tried creating a class derived from controlbutton, but when running on xbmc, it complained about not being of type control. (of course the docs say this, but i didn't see it in time!
)any help is appreciated!

i am pretty sure that those two modules are implemented in a c++ library exposed only to the python interpretter since they interact with the xbmc code so much.

i think you would be better off trying to build on top of controls as opposed to trying to extend them or make new ones (like a checkbox control could have been made out of a label control and image control).
though i would like to have those spinner controls you see in the settings view.

i believe xbmc.py and xbmcgui.py are just alexpoet's xbmc emulator and that is only meant to run on your pc for python development and debugging :hmm:
