Adapting the library for Python (Windows)

[JabberwockPL]

I know this has not been visited for a long time, but I could use the library right now...

I am trying to use Gametrak as a (very) inexpensive position tracking device for VR and this library would fit perfectly, as I would need actual absolute position of the string ends. However, I know little of C and I am doing most of the coding in Python (for freepie). I wonder if the library could be easily adapted for Python (on Windows)?

This library does exactly what you need but to use it in Python you need to write a Python binding. It's not that complicated considering that at a basic level you just need an init() function and functions like "double getLeftX()" to get data. I already wrote such bindings using Swig and it was not that complicated.

I don't have time now to do that but if you write the binding, I would appreciate a pull request to share the code.

I might try to do that... The problem is, it is possible that I have just lost the motivation to do that, as I have obtained today a Kinect at a bargain price - if it works, the wired (or should I say 'stringed'?) solutions will lose their appeal.

I have just realized I got it wrong.

I wanted to use Python to transfer the values to FreePIE (software for controller data exchange). However, it might be simpler to actually write a pluging for FreePIE:

then fiddle with the python side of FreePIE. I need to do more research on how to go about it....
