Python xbmc module

[xvalentinex]

Hello,

I'm writing a simple gui program to remotely control XBMC. On the http api article in the wiki, it suggests an 'import xbmc', which looks like it would give clean methods for communicating with the api, as opposed to having to write my own with curl, etc.

The problem, is that I cannot find this xbmc module. I'm not the greatest coder, but it seems to be "magically" imported by plugins/scripts, without actually being a .py/.so file in the file hiearchy. Is there any way I can download this module to include in a remote program? Or perhaps, someone could shed some light on how/where plugins and scripts are importing xbmc?

Thanks

It's c (aka, magic). You can't import it externally, only from within xbmc.

That darn magical C :)

Fair enough, thanks for the input, I'll just write my own classes.

If anyone knows, or has written a class for communicating with xbmc's http api, I would love to know about it.

Please publish it if you do.

Here's a list of HTTP API commands.

They are fairly easy to implement, I wrote a C# app to control XBMC, it's fairly simple and not finished, I might publish the sources as well.

@rwparris2: will do

I've got the base system using urllib and sgmllib. I'm just playing with the library sql commands to find a comprehensive dataset that makes sense.
