Certainly. Especially when interfacing with C, even up to hardware driver
level. I haven't used it because mplayer is just better, but I could capture
TV through Python after an afternoon of playing with swig. It's the
almost-instant reward that I like so much. And the availability of many
libs/bindings.

Yeah. If one thing stands out in my experience that most of the time you're
reading docs/doing research. I'd say easily 50%. Then documenting and other
things like perhaps some graphics work, including in-code documenting: 20%.
Testing and install/build scripts 10%, actual coding 10%, misc trying out
stuff/debugging on the py prompt 10%.
All the reading seems a waste of time at first but that's normal when you
plunge into a new subject. In the end, I feel that kind of "meta-knowledge"
is what makes you be faster and better _and_ more open minded to different
solutions.
David, I added kbtv to the wiki list of apps. Thanks for pointing me to it.
Dan
