Hello,

I've been hacking a bit and, using the pytime DataEngine as an example,=20
successfully built a "dummy" Python DataEngine that fetches records from NC=
BI=20
on a hard-coded query and sets data correctly. I admit it was surprisingly=
=20
easy to set up.

Although my knowledge of C++ is zero, I have been reading some of the API a=
nd=20
the tutorials on TechBase, to tackle the next big question: how to make the=
=20
source retrieval dependent on an "external" input, e.g. that would come fro=
m=20
the future applet interface.=20

Let's make an example to make things clearer. A user may want to search for=
=20
the term "foo", and another for the term "bar", and of course, they would g=
et=20
different results. How can I make the DataEngine aware that the query=20
parameter should be "foo" in one case, and "bar" in the other?

I have been reading the description of DataContainer to see (as per previou=
s=20
suggestion) about subclassing it, but I still didn't find very clear *if* t=
he=20
thing I'm looking for is doable with the current API.

Apologies for the message if it's somewhat stupid (I admit I don't have a b=
ig=20
programming experience - all my past work has been, with few exceptions,=20
confined to file manipulation).
