Baby steps into python addon development
#1
Hey guys i am searching for a website or something that is UP-to-DATE and comprehensive enough to start writing addons.

YES i saw the wiki its really scattered and not for total noobies.

So what i am asking is there a site/book anything to help me on my baby steps into python addon development?

thanks in advance

there has been some recent work on the wiki to try to bring it up to speed in regards to addon dev, I know you mentioned the wiki but did you check out this page

http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Add-on_development

There is a hello world addon there that is a first step to creating an addon

just look into others code and through the wikis, also if you do know python it all comes really easy, if you barely know python get yourself up to speed first with python...

Granted you can probably copy paste a script/plugin together with all the information on the net and the forums and you will also learn alot in the process but that road is very frustrating to say the least, enjoy!

Have you looked on the official Python web site?

those librarys are the standard python librarys... so you need to keep your python up like i said before..
