I've been using a script that has not been updated in many many years that originally designed for the xbox, NOT an HTPC and for that reason i've had to tweak the heck out of it just to keep it running. I don't know much about python but i am starting to learn how to program in it. What will happen when the new addon system kicks in? will i have to re-write the script to match the addon system? or will scripts just not be able to be used anymore?

They're used just fine. They simply show up in programs (unless you give them a specific content type, whereby they'll show up in the appropriate section).

The only changes needed are to add the addon.xml file (and any icons etc.) and to ensure you aren't using depreciated API's.

Cheers,
